Occasional wine note

This is not a traditional blend for a Right Bank Bordeaux where Merlot dominates. Here, there is plenty of Merlot, but it really balances the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc that dominate this offering. There is a reason that this wine sits in so many collectors' wine cellars. We were absolutely blown away with this wine. Complex, powerful, elegant, and just plain delicious. Oh, and this will only get better over the next 20+ years. Epic!

What experts say about this wine

100

Decanter

Deep, complex and precise, what a wine in 2021. Grippy and intense, this captures attention and holds it: the sharp zing of acidity, wet stone minerality, crystalline fruit. Bright and fresh, excellent tannin integration, mid-palate depth and a salty, liquorice twist at the end. You almost want to chew this wine, yet it's spot-on and totally moreish; freshness is the focus but not a beat is missed with the texture and mouthfeel. No one can be disappointed with this wine!

Wine Enthusiast

The wine is fresh with a fine structure from the 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc in the blend. It is a structured wine, light while also showing ripe black currant fruits and an edge of spice. With its fine acidity at the end, this is an excellent reflection of the year.
