95 Points
Friday, September 16, 2016 - 66x Parker 100-Pointers from Bordeaux 1947-2010 tasted blind (Switzerland): Tasted blind. Dark purple. Very modern nose with aromas of flowers, bakery, cherries. Soft tannins and full bodied palate, freshness is there too. May be I am too stingy with my 95 points here but next to the Petrus and Le Pin 2009 the aromatic complexity is clearly a step below. Very good Merlot nevertheless. Group score: 17.58, group rank: 37/64
