45% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot, 15% cabernet franc, and 10% petit verdot. Average vine age is 27 years, planted in sandy soils with a gravel topsoil. Pure garnet color, with a classic Margaux nose of perfumed black fruit, liquor, violet, and baking spices. The palate has some nice dried herbs and coffee along with deep black fruit flavors. Continues to build in intensity towards a long and balanced finish, replete with baking spices and chocolate. Good quality and balance in this classic styled wine. Enjoy 2015-2025. Tasted twice.

Plenty of dark berries and fresh ceps on the nose and palate. Full to medium body with polished tannins and an attractive finish. Well-done. Reserved style of Kirwan.

Caramel new wood aromas are followed by spice and toast flavors. The fruit seems thin by comparison, hard to feel under all that polished toast.-R.V.
