WA 90-92Devon Magee, JJ Buckley, April 2012
76% merlot, 17% cabernet franc, and 7% cabernet sauvignon from 13 hectares on the south-facing, limestone plateau between Larcis Ducasse and Tertre Roteboeuf. Aged in 80% new and 20% once-used barrels. Ripe fruits on the nose are followed by a rich, lifted palate texture. Definitely a richer version for this estate. The fresh acidity does help to keep the liqueur-like fruit and body high-toned, while the sweet fruit continues onto the finish. Enjoy on release and over the following 10 years. Tasted twice.

Blueberry and cherry character with hint of smoke follow through to a full body, with big velvety tannins. A little overworked but not overdone. Could turn out outstanding quality with the elevage.

This dense ruby/purple-colored blend of 72% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon tips out at a whopping 14.5%. From a top site, the Cote Pavie, this is a very fine 2011 with abundant cassis, kirsch, licorice and loamy soil undertones. Its sweet tannin, plush opulence and medium to full-bodied feel are all impressive. Anticipated maturity: now-2028.

Polished feel from the start, with ample layers of blackberry and blueberry sauce liberally framed by ganache and graphite. A touch firm in the end, but the stuffing is there to soak that up.-J.M.
