Great flavorful merlot from P-L next door to chateau latour-Martillac. Red cherry, cherry cola, cassis. Dry med- tannins with a great mocha, anise and licorice backbone. Could carry a bit more depth to really shine for a higher score but otherwise it's really a great showing! Lovely finish as well. Decanted best at 2+ hrs. Probably could go a handful more years but doesn't have an eternal shelf life.

Ready to drink now. Enjoyable wine, but still a bit expensive I think. Do not buy for full price (359). Scent of mandel in aftertaste. Nice bouquet - the best of this wine.
Anmelderrost, koncentreret, fyldig og elegant rødvin med noter af chokolade, brombær og tobak. Vinen er skabt i et flot blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot.

We did not agree on this one…I was at 91 and Nancy was at 89, so we split the difference. In any event, a really friendly wine!
Cheers!

Well balanced and well matured. Good concentrated fruit, cassis and ceder. Smooth medium+ acid and tannins rounded by age in the bottle. Good balance. Medium lenght. Good timing to drink this wine now.
