Written Notes

48% Merlot + 46% C. Sauvignon and 6% C. Franc. A very similar blend of grape varieties to sister property, Haut Brion. Plenty of red- and blackcurrants, violets, mineral, vibrant, great complexity and pure elegance, finesse, Long and cashmere-clad aftertaste. Sublime stuff. 95+p.

  • 95p

Dark purple colour with violet hue and black core. Very elegant nose, aroma reminiscent of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, hints of violets, pencil shavings, hints of vanilla and mild spices in the background. On the palate excellent structure, ripe tannins, refined fruit, dark berries and hints of plums, subtle oak and elegant spiciness. A wine with great precision and impressing length.
