Notes

Good deep ruby colour, a wonderfully balanced and complete appearance on the nose, and an extra level of concentration than other chateaux. Ripe sweet red berry character on the nose, very pure; great mid-palate concentration, seamless finish, great elegance, crisp freshness from some of the best at this end of the Medoc. Extremely long finish, in perfect equilibrium, reminiscent of this chateau’s outstanding 1995.. A blend of 30% merlot, 64% Cabernet Sauvignon/Franc and 3% Petit Verdot, cropped at 46 hl/ha.

Notes

Bright ruby-red. Perfumed, terroir-driven aromas and flavors of redcurrant, licorice, iron, cinders, woodsmoke, minerals and pepper, plus a whiff of meat. At once dense and suave, with herbal and peppery nuances contributing to the wine’s impression of insinuating vinosity and inner-mouth aromatic character. Almost rustic in its soil tones but not in its refined texture. Finishes with building tannins and a juicy freshness. A wine worth following.
