Score 90/100 · Drink 2013-2028, Robert Parker, Feb 2013

A terrific wine from proprietor Thierry Gaudrie, this wine, which has a similar blend to the La Vieille Cure (73% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon), has an inky purple color and a big, sweet kiss of blueberry liqueur intermixed with creme de cassis, camphor, licorice and a hint of graphite. Full-bodied, rich and unctuously textured, this is a seriously endowed Fronsac to drink over the next 15+ years.

Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2016-2026, Jancis Robinson MW, Apr 2011

Blueish purple and very sweet and a bit forced. Lacks the usual freshness of Fronsac – deacidified? Drying end. (JR)
