Description
Rated 94 by Wine Enthusiast
Barrel Sample. Big and tannic, very firm and tough. Yet all the fruit is there, offering great potential. There is a ripe, juicy aftertaste. Under the same ownership as Château Léoville-Poyferré in Saint-Julien.

A wine with blueberry and mineral character on the nose and a palate. Dried spices. Full body, with chewy tannins and a tangy finish. Needs time to soften. Better in 2016.

Open, ripe, forward nose. Nicely concentrated blackcurrant fruit with rich Christmas cake fruit aromas and a leathery touch. This isn’t subtle but it has vigour, structure, a good spicy grip on the finish, a natural sweetness and very good length with a slight St-Estèphe leatheriness. Spicey full wet gravel finish, quite chocolatey.

Offers a good beam of cassis and briar, with singed anise, lilac and black tea notes. Displays a juicy edge on the finish, and should unwind nicely in the short term. Best from 2014 through 2022.
