  With a mature color showing ruby with tea accents, the wine is medium bodied, with an earthy, spicy, truffle and red berry character. Light, silky, bright and spicy, with a light, fresh, peppery, red berry character in its finish. This is fully mature and requires drinking. From a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, this is the debut vintage produced in the new, modern cellars.

  Belle couleur grenat tuilée. Assez lourd. Larmes moyennes. Semble un peu clair.
  Joli nez composé de fruits frais (groseilles maquereau et cerises), de violette et d'épices (poivre) sur un fond de bois bien intégré.
  Attaque très douce qui laisse apparaître rapidement un fruit abondant (cassis, cerise et fraise). Mélange de fruits complexe et très intéressant mais un vin qui manque malheureusement cruellement de matière ce qui endommage la structure.
  Absolument pas désagréable à boire, mais ne peut prétendre au rang de 5ième cru dans ce millésime. Meilleur avec 1.5 h de carafage.

  Belle robe avec une légère trace d'évolution, de belles larmes s'écoule le long du verre

  Just starting to wane slightly, but still close to top form, this has acquired good Margaux typicity, whereas in its youth it was a bit too fruity and facile. Elegant, sweet, but with good persistence: very satisfying
