Tasting Notes: Very concentrated and textured with excellent balance. Feet firmly in Bordeaux, yet very approachable at a young age but with the ability to develop well in time. The 2004 is very forward in a classic St-Emilion style. | Drinking Dates: 2006 to 2016 | Cépagement: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc | Soil: St Suplice de Faleyrens and Vignonet | Upbringing: Quite New World style in some respects. The wine spends 12 months in oak barrels. | ABV: 13% | Critic Reviews: "Full and fragrant, leafy (Cabernet Franc) and plummy (Merlot)
seductively full yet firm dry finish, more structure than in previous years" Highly Recommended (Steven Spurrier,
Decanter) | Food: Classic Bordeaux combinations (roast beef or lamb, for example) certainly work but because of the up-front style of the wine it can take on a wide range of foods. |
