Score 87/100 · Drink 2013-2021, Robert Parker, Feb 2013
This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest mostly Merlot is relatively expensive, no doubt because it’s from the Margaux appellation, but it is a cru bourgeois. It displays loads of dark berry fruit intermixed with some subtle smoke, damp earth and spice box. Medium-bodied and nicely textured, it finishes authoritatively. Drink it over the next 6-8 years. A member of the Alliance des Cru Bourgeois du Medoc.

27% Merlot, 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot. Bright crimson. Blackcurrant-leaf aroma, inviting freshness, graphite. Refined, fresh and just such classic Bordeaux elegance with cassis fruit coming back on the finish. (JH)
