More than half Merlot and the balance mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, this is an elegant, well-balanced, finesse style of wine with a dark ruby color and some notes of cranberry and black cherry fruit as well as red currants and dusty, loamy soil undertones. It is medium-bodied and best drunk over the next decade. (A member of the Association of Crus Bourgeois du Medoc.)

Dense black fruit, oak and mulberry aromas. A positive wine with a silky texture, ripe fruit, perky acidity and neat tannins. A luscious, expansive palate. Drink 2013. Alc: 14%. (15.75 points)
