This property, while in the Pauillac appellation, seems to be more St.-Julien-like in most vintages. With silky tannins, its sweet berry-scented nose intermixed with some forest floor and underbrush offer impressive aromatics. The wine is medium-bodied, with silky, noble sweetness, and a fine, pure finish. It should drink well for 12-15+ years.
Beautiful blackberry and chocolate aromas follow through to a full body, with soft, round tannins and a pretty finish, though lacks a little bit at the end.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
