Tasting notes
60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec. Dark crimson with black core. Ripe, lightly charred cassis fruit on the nose. Touch of vanilla. Juicy, lively and bright on the palate, with fine, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness. Really juicy finish. (JH)

A slightly unbalanced wine with a woody nose. the oak tannins are not well integrated into the wine This is an unusual wine made by Stephan Derenoncourt who is better known for his fresh, silky tannin textured wines. The finish is modest in length and astringent. A wine for early consumption. asianpalate.com
Beautiful fruit appears in this wine, mostly red and black currants, in addition to some flowery nuances. The wine is another medium to full-bodied, very attractive and charming style of Cru bourgeois, meant to be consumed in its first 4-5 years of life.
