80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc. Aged in 50% new oak. 25 year old vines planted in clay and limestone soils. Yields are 33 hls/ha. Hand harvested into small plastic crates. 13.8% alcohol. 50% new oak and 50% one year-old barrels. Aromas of crushed violet and incense are followed by melted licorice and a touch of minerality to create a taught nose. Very lush and round on the palate, this has loads of black fruits and a slight hint of truffle. A pleasure to drink now, this should show beautifully on release. Enjoy on release and over following 5-8 years. 3,800 cases produced. Stephane Derenoncourt consults.

This is a little jammy and slightly overdone with lots of wood too. Full body, with round and chewy tannins and a dry finish. Drink or hold.

The wine displays a flowery side of Bordeaux, with a wonderfully perfumed smorgasbord of aromas that also include some raspberry and blueberry fruit. Dark plum/ruby in color, medium-bodied, strikingly elegant and almost Margaux-like in its finesse, elegance, and aromatic splendor, this deep, surprisingly concentrated and supple wine should be drunk over the next 5-7 years. -Robert Parker

This is quite ripe, with almost flashy plum, raspberry and boysenberry flavors, but they stay focused and driven, with mouthwatering anise and apple wood notes that cut through the middle and extend the long, fleshy, polished finish. A latent minerality chimes in at the very end, boding well for the future. Drink now through 2020. -JM
