A sleeper of the vintage this estate owned by the proprietors of Pichon Lalande has produced a seductive charming 2011. Composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon 43% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot it offers up a seductive bouquet of tobacco leaf red and dark berry fruit and hints of cedar wood smoke and earth. Ripe medium-bodied and silky smooth this dense ruby/plum/purple-colored La Bernadotte can be enjoyed over the next 8-10 years.
