Tasting Notes

This plump, fleshy, seductive, 100% Merlot cuvee from Christian Moueix exhibits herbal, sweet plum, cherry, and mocha notes along with supple tannin and decent acidity, but little depth and richness. It is a charming, sensual Pomerol to enjoy over the next decade.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (176), April 2008

A dark, broody nose of cherries, bonfire smoke and a hint of exotic spice. This is a concentrated, rich and powerful wine with a dense core of sweet black fruit, all wrapped in peppery spice. Whilst it is drinking now, it may benefit with a little more time to relax the firm tannins that hold this monolith together. Has enormous promise.
