Pretty aromas of chocolate and blackberry, with hints of black licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a chewy finish. This has all the potential to be outstanding. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2009

One of the most successful wines of the vintage, this blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot achieved 13.5% natural alcohol. It exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with sweet notes of creosote, graphite, lead pencil shavings, black currants, plums and licorice. Medium to full-bodied and silky with good underlying acidity, it is a juicy, savory, quintessentially elegant wine that will benefit from several years of cellaring and last for 15+ years.
