Dark, ripe fruit or rather berries (cherry, blackberry) with notes of leather and chocolate on the nose. A fairly mature bouquet! On the palate the wine is close to fullbodied. I find more dark fruit, kicking tannins, a good refreshing acid and a lingering finish with a touch of smoke and stone. I like it! I think this will evolve nicely a couple of more years - if you like mature wines.

One of the Chateaus I always come back to. It's has an attractive nose, with dark cherries, cedar, and wet stones. Round tannins and balanced acidity. A good craftmanship that delivers every time...

Presqu'aussi bon que le Château Soleil 2009 bu en même temps et 5$ de moins. Bel ensemble équilibré, droit et bien savoureux, rien n'accroche un beau RQP.

Almost sweet nose Tannins nicely controlled with smooth long mouthfeel. Long finish adds spice tones
