critic reviews
Deep ruby/plum/purple with sweet black cherries, blackcurrants and spice, the wine is medium-bodied, possesses good softness and a gentle lushness to the tannins. Not terribly complex, but its certainly well-made. This should drink well for 7-10 years.
(67% cabernet sauvignon and 33% merlot, 5.5 g/l total acidity, 72 IPT; 13.3% alcohol): Good deep red. Black cherry, cedar and sweet spices on the nose, plus a hint of chocolate mint. Juicy and rather bracing, with hints of spearmint and black pepper lifting the dark cherry and spice flavors. An almost dainty wine, this fresh and very classic Bordeaux features a blackcurrant note on the moderately long finish. A little unforthcoming at present but a good, lively wine, and very successful for the vintage.
