Sweet and spicy damson fruit. Smooth and quite juicy on the palate. Savoury, a bit burly and rustic overall. (JH)

From Bordeaux visionary Bernard Magrez, this blend of 57% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc and the rest Petit Verdot comes from one of the most ancient fortified chateaux of the Medoc (constructed in 1120 A.D.). Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by hints of graphite, black currants, spice box and charcoal. This medium-bodied 2011 reveals excellent to outstanding concentration, sweet tannin and a long finish. A sleeper of the vintage, it is a beautiful effort from this challenging vintage. Moreover, it will evolve for 15 or more years.

Smudgy dark cherry colour. Noticeable oak spice and sweetness – dominates the aroma. So dry, like food with no juice. Thick finish. Freshness seems to exacerbate the tannins. (JH)
