lscl, sdc
Double-Magnum (1)
The Rafiki Collection: A spectacular assortment from a meticulous NJ collector. Picture perfect wines from an ice-cold wine cellar on the estate.
"It is a medium-bodied, rather elegant style of Petrus with a distinctive cedary, almost celery component intermixed with a hint of caramel and sweet mulberry and black cherry fruit." (91 pts. Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book 4th Ed., Jan. 2003)
"Jean-Michel Cazes was rather dismissive of this treasure exhumed from his cellar ('ce n'est pas grandiose') but I loved it – especially since it had not a trace of 1988's stubbornness about it. Sweet, round and rich, it was initially served blind and was obviously something exceptional. Lovely cleanliness as well as flattering sumptuousness. Tannins difficult to discern. Acidity well integrated." (18.5 pts. Jancis Robinson, July 2015)
