Tasting notes
Sweet creamy dark fruit on the nose. Vanilla and small dark berries. Firm, sweet/sour intensity, just a little tart at the end. Tannins are pretty dry and mouth-puckering at the moment. Needs time. (JH)

The estate of Bernard Magrez has fashioned an attractive dark ruby/purple-colored 2011 offering lots of mulberry and black cherry fruit as well as a sexy, soft, round core, velvety tannin and a heady, lush, seductive finish. It is another brilliant effort from Bernard Magrez’s team. A sleeper of the vintage, it should provide immense pleasure over the next 7-10 years.
Intense purple crimson. Attractive energetic, fresh nose. Some spiciness. Very racy. Manages to lift itself above the norm. Quite transparent. Even juicy. (JR)
