Saint-Emilion Grand Cru from the estate

90/100 Parker & 90/100 WS

When to drink this wine? Drink now through 2028+.

Tasted by Parker in 2013: "The inky/purple wine shows major amounts of fruit, with blueberry and blackberry as well as hints of barbecue smoke and spring flowers. This wine has calmed down considerably, as it was somewhat inconsistent to taste from the barrel. But it is now an outstanding effort, though of course it is low production. Drink it over the next 15 years or so..."
