Tasted in April 2017. Wine from this property is a blend of Tertre Daugay (situated at same place/hill) and L'Arrosee (which is situated on the foot of the hill). Tertre Daugay was acquired by Dillons in 2011 while L'Arrosee joined in 2013. 

This wine was well-made with nice complexity and length. Silky fruit and tannin, very tasty. Rating is 92p and not 86p as it says on the website. 86p is for the second wine.

Dark purple red with violet hue and black core. Excellent nose with distinct berry fruit, elegant spiciness, fine roasting aroma, at the moment slightly closed but with a quite promising nose. On the palate well structured with ripe tannins, juicy fruit, good depth and length. 94
