A strong effort from the Becot family, this blend of 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a saturated dense ruby/purple color, sweet notes of creme de cassis, cherries, earth, and subtle herbs, a spicy, medium to full-bodied, soft, opulent style, and a fleshy, long finish. Enjoy this hedonistic yet complex wine over the next 12-15 years. Just under 6,000 cases were produced.
Wonderful length for the vintage. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a berry, toasted oak and chocolate aftertaste. Serious. Better than La Gomerie.
One of the Right Bank’s finest efforts, the deep ruby/plum/purple-tinged 2004 displays a sumptuous perfume of raspberries, black cherries, white chocolate, and smoke. This modern-styled, dense, fleshy, rich St.-Emilion possesses good acidity, moderate tannin, and a long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.
An exuberant, modern-styled St.-Emilion, it exhibits lavish quantities of toasty new oak along with notes of black cherries, espresso roast, white chocolate, and vanilla/pain grille in a medium to full-bodied, concentrated format. With impressive purity, depth, and length, it should drink well for 15 or more years.
