"From a 1.37 ha parcel of 60+ year old vines situated close to the ChĂąteau; vinified with 25% whole clusters. A discreet but not invisible touch of wood sets off admirably pure aromas of various dark berries, pungent earth, floral and soft spice nuances. There is good power and volume but as with several wines in the range in 2012 the supporting tannins are notably fine and almost invisible at present as the abundant dry extract coats the palate and pushes the sense of structure to the background on the gorgeously long finish. This isn't exactly robust but it is very firmly structured which together with the excellent power and punch make this is a seriously good effort."
