Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 08 Nov 23
A challenging vintage, now showing waves of tobacco and soft leather, blackberry and redcurrant, with an understated charm that begs to be shared. Clearly more evolved than the 2005 or even the 2000, this gathers rosebuds and incense as it progresses through the palate, very much ready to drink, on the edge of tertiary but staying on the precipice. Love the charm of this wine, atypical of the lineup. 40.5hl/h yieid, 75% new oak. Dominique Befve director, Alain Raynaud and Michel Rolland consultant winemakers.

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 10
Bright ruby-red. Expressive, rather wild aromas of cassis, mocha and espresso. Lush and broad, with good sweetness for 2007. The musky espresso quality carries through in the mouth. Slightly chunky but ripe and satisfying for 2007, offering good weight and richness. Finishes with chewy, nicely ripe tannins and good spine.
