Rating 20/20
56 % Merlot, 39 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 5 % Cabernet Franc. 9000 cases.
Medium-dark garnet, very dense in the centre. Amazingly open bouquet, lots of malt notes, pleasant roasted tones, mulberries à gogo and lots of cassis and other berries. Elegant on the palate, the well-supported acidity is a shade more powerful than the astringency, the sweetness grinds the massive, very well-distributed tannins and so it is no crime to approach the wine for the first time. It is a subtle, soothing classic that needs at least another 10 years to reach its first maturity. But probably even longer.
