Product Ratings
James Suckling 90pt

This starts off a little bretty with barnyard undertones, but it blows off to flowers and rich fruit. Round and juicy, with yummy flavors. A long finish on this. Very spicy and earthy. St. Estephe character. Enjoy or age.

Wine Spectator 90pt

Aromas of currant and fresh flowers follow through to a medium-to-full body, with chewy tannins and a slightly woody finish, but the fruit comes through. Turns long and pretty. Best after 2010.

Harvest

Merlot: starting 26th September
Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot: 10th - 17th October

Climatic conditions

A very dry vintage, with moderate heat, produced very harmonious wines, despite a strong alcohol level. The sanitary state in the vineyard was perfect until the harvest, allowing us to wait until perfect ripening of the berries.

Winemaking

Following hand-picking and selection of the grapes on the vines, they are de-stalked and carefully sorted once more. Fermentation is carried out in temperature controlled stainless-steel or concrete tanks. After blending, the wine is aged from 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 30% to 40% of which are new.

Tasting notes

Powerful wine, intense fruit. The wine shows a deep ruby colour. Fruits on the nose, with notes of blackcurrant and red fruits. The palate displays elegance and fruits with velvety tannins. Long length with a supple finish. Superb potential!
