Tasting notes
64% Cabernet Sauvignon 31% Merlot 5% Petit Verdot Quite intense on the nose with dark spicy fruit accompanied by minty freshness. Linear palate structure with cool fruit character and fine tannins. Clearly made in the same mould as Pichon. FINE+RARE

The 2012 Réserve de la Comtesse (64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot) has a surprisingly dense ruby/purple color, some chocolaty blackcurrant fruit, soft tannins and a nice, medium-bodied mouthfeel. It is an ideal second wine for drinking over the next 12-15 years.| eRobertParker.com.April, 2015
