Another excellent cru bourgeois that I have not tasted in the past, this blend of nearly equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a substantial 15% Petit Verdot in it displays a dense ruby/purple color, and notes of blackberry, licorice and graphite with hints of charcoal and earth. It is well-made, medium to full-bodied and ideal for drinking over the next decade. (A member of the Association of Crus Bourgeois du Medoc.)
