Written Notes

Tasted four times - last time in February 2018. Not consistent notes. 63% C.Sauvignon + 29% Merlot + Cabernet Franc 3% + Petit Verdot 5%. Aromatic and rich on the nose. Elegant, silky fruit and velvety tannins, sappy and fleshy, splendid length and aftertaste. This was in October 2009. Eight years later, it's obvious that baby fat has gone and the wine suffers a little bit from overdone vinification and resembles old style of the property. I have to retaste it in few years time. In February 2008 this wine was back to its best like in October 2009.

Ruby, cassis, floral, typical and elegant, but a bit uninspired still. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, long length. Well-made wine, but not quite at the level one expects from Comtesse, but they seem to be back on track from 2010. 91
