A beautiful core of fruit with velvety tannins and a chocolate, berry and cocoa complexity on the palate. Juicy.

Recently acquired by the owners of La Fleur Cardinale, Dominique and Florence Decoster, this is a 19-acre estate located in the sector of St.-Emilion known as St.-Etienne de Lisse. Composed of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2011 came in at 15% natural alcohol. A strong effort, this rich, deep wine offers a deep blue/purple color along with notes of road tar interwoven with spicy new oak, black currants and kirsch. Opulent, rich and moderately tannic with good acidity and impressive purity as well as density, it should be cellared for 3-4 years and drunk over the following 15-20.
