  Smooth with a lingering finish. Bouquets of faint leather and tobacco with velvety opulence. It was as good as 2009 vintage and will improve in the next few years. The

  Somewhat disjointed. Tannins slightly underripe, and slightly sappy. Lots of plush black fruit and well integrated oak spice
  
  Pleasant but not worthy of price

  First bottle from a full case purchased en primeur in 2012. A blend of 60% Cabernet-Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, harvested between 29 September and 19 October, 13.5% ABV. Jacques Boissenot consulted. Energetic, fresh, youthful, crunchy fruit, firm structure but with a modicum of feminine Margaux elegance, toasty but well integrated oak, finely grained but still grippy tannins, good resonance and length. Early maturity, needs 3-5 years to loosen its tannic grip. The flawless balance ensures a good career, how much complexity it will develop, remains to be seen. It is still not easy to read, but it may surprise us. Score assumes positive development. Revisit 2025, drink until 2040+.
