"In a somewhat tragic twist, this over-achieving cru bourgeois in Haut-Médoc has turned in its finest wine to date, an unfined cuvée made from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot, created by the late proprietor Vincent Mulliez, who died suddenly last year. Sadly, this was his best effort. Notes of blackberries, black currants, licorice and a hint of toasty oak jump from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, well-endowed, impressively pure and textured wine."
