In a few words ...
"An elixir of considerable proportions, it possesses a dense purple color as well as an extraordinarily flamboyant bouquet of black fruits, graphite, crushed stones, subtle oak and a notion of wet steel. It hits the palate with a deafening concoction of thick, juicy black and blue fruits, lead pencil shavings and chalky minerality. Full-bodied, yet very fresh, with a finish that lasts more than a minute, this is one of the most remarkable wines I've ever tasted. Will it last a hundred years? No doubt about it." Robert Parker.

Taste
The Pauillacs are vigorous and tannic, which softens with age which allows the tannins to melt and give a nice and round structure.
