Tasting Notes
Vinous 88-90
Good full ruby. Warm, inviting aromas of roasted red fruits and espresso; slightly reduced. Fat, sweet and full, with lovely texture and inner-mouth perfume. Finishes with broad, mouthcoating, sweet tannins and lush fruit.

This property appears to be emerging from a long, disappointing period. The 16-acre vineyard, ideally situated between Trotanoy and Latour a Pomerol, is planted in sandy/gravel soils with 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. A deep plum/purple color is accompanied by a perfume of sweet figs, mincemeat, spice box, and cherry cola. Nicely textured and fleshy, with low acidity, soft tannin, and a plump, heady finish, it should drink well for 10-12 years.
Anticipated maturity: 2004-2016
