Tasting Notes

This 100% Merlot cuvee has put on weight since I tasted it last year. It reveals a beautiful, exotic, coffee bean, sweet cherry, and cassis-scented bouquet as well as superb charm, lushness, and fruit. Reminiscent of a lighter-weight Le Pin, this beauty can be drunk now or cellared for a decade. It will not make old bones.

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate (171), June 2007

The nose has a hint of truffle and forest floor and the fruit character here is distinctly one dominated by plums. Very much in the Pomerol style, there are blueberries, plums and a background of dark chocolate. Soft and fleshy, this makes for delicious drinking now and it has a lovely acidity that carries the fruit through to a very pleasing finish.
