Tasting Notes

Dense purple-red, well extracted, quite assertive Cabernet fruit, powerful yet restrained, big, almost leathery fruit, fleshy and intense for this vintage, very good weight without losing elegance, an impressive, pure wine with a good future. Drink 2012-20.

Decanter Magazine

Raspberry and mineral aromas and flavors follow through to a medium body, with good fruit and a light finish.

James Suckling

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot. This is showing some greenness on the nose and lacks some vigour. The palate is medium-bodied, a little herbaceous with some under-ripeness on the finish. Perhaps this will make a lighter, earlier drinking Margaux, but you will have to abide by some green fruit. Tasted April 2008.
