Raw black fruits on the nose. Tough drying finish but there is some appetising savour here – not just overripe. Dry end. (JR)

Score 97/100 · Drink 2016-2032, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Feb 2012

A blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc from vines in clay over limestone planted in 1947, this wine exhibits loads of chalky minerality and a stunning nose of espresso, blackberry, mulberry and kirsch. Elegant, with superb definition and a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, this effort has put on considerable weight since I tasted it from barrel. Unfortunately, the production is under 1,500 cases.
