Profound jet-shot plum in colour, with a firm, dark cherry rim, this has a lovely nose, compote of red and black fruit allied to tobacco, mocha and delicate spice, warm pastry and vanilla cream. The palate then takes up the challenge, delivering sweet, ebullient fruit, succulent cherries, rippled with refreshing cassis. Super-ripe and supremely rich, this Roc de Cambes nonetheless dances across the palate, exuberant and energising through to a protracted, complex and focused finish - stupendous!Estimated arrival time in UK of Bordeaux 2009 en primeur wines: Spring 2012
