Tasting Notes

50% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Really polished wine. Close to Ausone in style and stature. Has the depth and intensity many lack in 2007. Full and fresh with a fine tannic line. Drink 2013-2025. 4 stars.

Decanter Magazine

50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Merlot. Mid to dark crimson. Very heady and full. Round and not at all concentrated. A little green on the finish. Pretty angular. Nothing like as good as Petit Cheval. Angular. Maybe very slightly too much new oak?. Drink 2012-2017.

Jancis Robinson

Plenty of ripe fruit for the vintage, with plum and blackberry. Medium-to-full body, good tannins and a medium finish. Impressive second wine for the vintage.
