Score 87/100 · Drink 2013-2023, Robert Parker, Feb 2013
From proprietor Philippe Casteja, this soft, fruity Pauillac is made from 69% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc. Notes of subtle menthol, bay leaf, black currants and sweet jammy cherries jump from the glass of this soft, round, fruity, front-end loaded wine that is precociously styled, has lots of fruit, medium-bodied and silky tannins. Drink it over the next 7-10 years. A member of the Alliance des Cru Bourgeois du Medoc.

Rich crimson. Savoury, spicy dark fruit. Fresh, a little leafy but juicy fruit on the mid palate. Really juicy finish. (JH)
