Score 89/100 · Decanter World Wine Awards, May 2020

This is a good quality Pessac that is bristling with cassis fruits and firm but fine tannins. Good control through the palate and a juicy finish. Enjoyable, no need to wait too long. Slight trace of heat betrays the drought in the summer.

Tinto elaborado a partir de uvas Merlot (53%) e Cabernet Sauvignon (47%), com estágio de 12 meses em barricas de carvalho. De boa complexidade, com frutas vermelhas e negras maduras acompanhadas de notas florais, de ervas, de especiarias doces e terrosas, que aparecem tanto no nariz quanto no palato. Estruturado, mas também harmonioso, tem ótima acidez, taninos aveludados e final suculento e longo, com toques de cassis, de amoras, balsâmicos e de alcaçuz. Ideal para acompanhar cordeiro assado ao molho de ervas. Álcool 14%.

Aromas of ripe berries, light spices, cocoa nibs and crushed stones. White pepper, too. Medium-bodied with soft tannins. Mild and creamy with a delicate finish. Drinkable now, but better after 2024.

With the same ownership as Château Carbonnieux, this wine is tightly textured and full of solid, young tannins. The elements are all there. Blackberry fruits and acidity contrast with the wine\'s structure. Drink from 2025. Roger Voss
