Tasting Notes |
Black-red, purple rim, smoky and nicely concentrated blackcurrant Cabernet fruit, smooth, even a little chocolatey, very good natural ripeness and none of the greenness or rawness of the vintage, an attractive, plummy, classy wine. Drink 2012-20. Decanter Magazine |
Some berry, with a fresh herb undertone. Medium body, fine tannins and a short finish. James Suckling |
A blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc. This has a much riper nose than Chateau Giscours with blackberries, raspberries and graphite. Perhaps it just lacks a little delineation. The palate is medium-bodied, quite chewy tannins, moderate fruit concentration with tobacco and cedar coming through on the finish. A little disjointed, but it has the right components to improve significantly by bottling. Good weight on the finish. Tasted April 2008. Neal Martin |
