    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    88% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc. This exceptional terroir (between Cheval Blanc and Petrus) is owned and managed by Domaines Barons de Rothschild. Their investment and expertise is beginning to produce really profound wines of exceptional quality. The 2005 was a tour de force, but the 2008 comes surprisingly close. Wonderfully expressive deep nose of liquorice and perfumed black fruits. Beautiful sweet blackcurrant attack. Fresh and pure, with wonderful texture, a very smart, concentrated, seamless wine with excellent length. The tannins are very lacy and refined. One is left with a sense of freshness, balance and complexity. A real thoroughbred.

    Stephen Tanzer,
    Vinous
    Full, deep red-ruby. Exotic aromas of dark berries, cocoa, underbrush and ink. Thick, broad and full, but with lively acidity giving a light touch to the rich, dense dark fruit, balsamic vinegar and chocolate flavors. Finishes long and oaky, with an opulent, high-alcohol mouthfeel, big tannins and a note of fresh herbs.
