Another sleeper of the vintage in this magical year, this sexy, fat, luscious St.-Estephe is a blend of 50% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich and succulent, with loads of black fruit intermixed with licorice and incense, this wine is very low in acidity and has very ripe tannins. It should drink nicely for up to a decade.

Good blackcurrant Cabernet nose, oak evident, ripe fruit, quite tight now but will open up well. Drink 2013-18. (16 points)
