A wine with plum and berry character and hints of spice and earth. Full body, with soft and velvety tannins and a juicy finish. Try in 2015. James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

Dense purple red, summery black berry fruits with fine autumnal ripeness, quite broad, nicely concentrated palate, good fragrance, personality, depth and length. Drink 2016-25

Subtle aromas of violet and blueberry follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a fresh, clean finish

Score 87-89/100 · Neal Martin

Tasted at the Pessac UGC. This is very tight and unyielding on the nose: thick black cherry, raspberry and a touch of iodine. The tannins are a little brutish at the moment with a vice-like grip on the palate, a little dry though with good weight. Rather introspective at the moment and short on the finish. Tasted April 2010.

About the producer

Square Chateau Olivier
Olivier

Ch. Olivier is one of the few actual castles in Bordeaux – coming with a moat and drawbridge. Since Alexandre de Bethmann took over here in 2012, the château has been given a new lease of life, with quality on the rise.
