4/14/2024 - KerryKirkham Likes this wine:
Beautifully composed of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot — aged 12 months in 40% new oak. A cornucopia of ripe fruit—juicy red cherries, sweet dark berries, and plums. So fresh and clean. Spice box, rose, and violet add touches of feminine intrigue and pure elegance. I absolutely love this wine and bought two bottles immediately after tasting it. Ready to drink now but will age gracefully over the next decade or so.

Medium-dark ruby hue. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, earthy, plum, tar. Plus body, full tannins, plus acid. Structured with a long finish. Beautiful bouquet. Needs more time to soften, but drinking well now. Solid value for a Left Bank Bordeaux. 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot.

Deep ruby, purple, with a wide, slight reddish, rainy, translucent rim and some legs.
On the nose, there is a very prominent green, herbal note in the beginning from initial pop and pour - green peppers, forest floor, wet earth, tobacco, and vanilla. After half an hour in the glass, the fruits start singing - blackberries, cassis, black cherries, and plums.
Medium bodied and acidic on the palate with prominent green herbal notes mixed with earth and leather - green peppers, wet earth, leather, black tea, some oak and vanilla presence, blackberries and cassis. Tannins are somewhat grippy with a medium peppery finish.
Overall, this is quite enjoyable and delicious, and is quite approach at its young age.

In a good place right now, it will be in an even better place in 5+ more years. Lovely ruby color. The nose is fruit forward and really pops out of the glass with cherry, blackcurrant and plums. On the palate, blackcurrant, tobacco, spice, touch of menthol. Good acidity with smooth tannins. This can easily take more cellar time. If you can get some at a reasonable price it's great but I've seen some place abuse on prices after the Château got more popularity lately.
