Green coffee bean, berry and fresh herbs on the nose. Full and chewy, with tobacco and berry character. A little overextracted, but should come around nicely with barrel age

Tasted at the Association de Crus Classé tasting at Grand Pontet. This has an intense nose of blackberry, black plum, liquorice and hints of orange sorbet: gaining freshness all the time in the glass. The palate is full-bodied with grainy, saturated tannins, good balance, harmonious, not a subtle Clos Saint Martin but it has freshness and definition. Black cherries, blueberry and a touch of vanilla on the finish. Very primal but it should develop nicely in barrel. Tasted March 2010.

A blend of 75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon that hit 14% natural alcohol, the wine has an extraordinary purity and vivaciousness in 2009. Dense ruby/purple, with beautiful black currant and black cherry notes as well as hints of raspberry and spring flowers, despite the fact that 100% new French oak is used, it is completely buried beneath a cascade of glorious fruit. The wine is extremely aromatic, with great intensity and beautiful balance. Unlike most vintages, it is somewhat accessible because of the vintage’s low acidity and higher alcohols and should drink well for up to 20 years. Dec 2011, www.robertparker.com
