Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley, April 2011

75% cabernet sauvignon, 15% merlot, and 10% petit verdot. Aged in 60% new oak and 40% one-wine old barrels. Soils are a combination of 40% sandy-gravelly, 40% sandy-silty, and 20% clay and limestone on a 15 hectare vineyard, with an average 45 year old vines. Hand harvesting ran from Oct. 6th to Oct. 20th. 14% alcohol. A nice fruit-driven effort shows beautiful black blackberry and blueberry with graphite and tar. Displays good concentration and integrated tannic structure. A really nice effort. Enjoy over the next 10-15 years. Tasted twice. First vintage with Michel Roland as consultant.

Aromas of blueberries and minerals with hints of dried flowers follows through to a full body, with silky tannins and a beautifully integrated fruit and tannin profile. Very sexy and refined. So hard to wait on this. But better in 2016.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2013

This final blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and the rest split between Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot tips the scales at 14.5% natural alcohol. Sweet black currant fruit intermixed with cedar wood, licorice and some spice give this wine beautiful aromatics, as one should expect from a Margaux, medium to full body, silky tannins and a long finish. This is definitely a sleeper of the vintage and still underpriced for a classified growth from Margaux. Drink it over the next 15 years. -Robert Parker

This is fresh and engaging, with firm but lively singed alder and apple wood notes framing a core of plum, red currant and steeped black cherry fruit. Offers pepper and tobacco hints on the grippy finish. This will need a touch of cellaring to round into form. Best from 2015 through 2028. -JM
