Pretty nose of black plums, currants, oak, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, cola, light earth, black tea and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, spices, chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn and licorice.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious 14 year old second wine from this Second Growth château. Fruit forward and elegant. Rich and expressive.
Although not from a great vintage, it is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next few years. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Complex and interesting. Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Aged for 14 months in (15% new) French Oak barrels.
