James Suckling
Aromas of smoke and tobacco with some currants, too. Medium body. Chewy tannins and an herb and berry aftertaste. Shows attractive fruit drive at the end.
VertdeVin
The nose is fruity and offers concentration and power. It reveals notes of blackberry, wild strawberry and small notes of ripe blackcurrant associated with touches of small wild berries as well as hints of liquorice, Sichuan pepper and very discreet hints of dry tobacco leaf, graphite and incense. The mouth is fruity, fresh, well-balanced and offers a good definition, gourmandize, an acidulous/juicy frame, a very fine unctuosity as well as tension. On the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy/juicy red cherry, fleshy/juicy blackcurrant and small notes of violet associated with fine hints of small red berries, liquorice, nutmeg and Sichuan pepper. Tannins are well-built. There are slight toasted notes, hazelnut and caramelization on the finish/persistence.

Tasting note
'The nose is fruity, elegant, racy, precise and offers a good definition. It reveals notes of ripe blackberry, raspberry and small notes of cherry associated with small touches of flowers, cassis, racy minerality, graphite as well as very slight hints of nutmeg, chocolate and a very discreet hint of spices. The palate is fruity, elegant, well-balanced, precise and offers a beautiful definition, tension, concentration (but full of finesse), a fine aerial side, gourmandise, freshness, dynamism as well as richness . On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy cassis and small notes of fresh/fleshy raspberry associated with small touches of red berries, flowers as well as slight hints of liquorice, dark chocolate, discreet hints of toasted almond and a very discreet hint of hazelnut. Tannins are elegant. A “multilayer” wine that requires work in the glass as well as patience to be fully appreciated and understood. Good length and persistence.'

Varmt och torrt år genom hela säsongen; södra områden som drabbas mest av vårfrost, medan Médoc i allmänhet skonas. Väl tajmade regn förhindrade mognadsblockering, men september spädde ut tidigare mognad Merlot. Viner är fräscha och rena; bäst i Pauillac och St.-Julien, andra AOC mer heterogena.Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion

Varm, torr växtsäsong, med vårfrost som drabbar låglänta områden i St.-Emilion och satelliter särskilt hårt. Molnig juli höll rankorna på den fräscha, rena sidan, med bra syra och blygsamma tanniner. St.-Emilion på toppen av kalkstensplatån är utmärkt, Pomerolerna är köttiga och energiska.
