This is a weighty and fruity St-Julien which will provide delicious drinking in its first decade and, at this very reasonable release price, a must-buy on a tight budget.

Neal Martin
Tasted at the chateau. A blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot. This is just a little lean on the nose considering the vintage. Touches of iodine and black olive tapenade inflecting the black fruits with a hint of boysenberry developing with time in the glass. Gaining some weight and intensity with each swirl. The palate is medium-bodied, well balanced with firm, ripe tannins, good weight towards the Cabernet dominated finish that has an insistent grip, touches of spice towards the finish. This is a very promising Sarget. Tasted March 2010. 88-90 points
Jean-Marc Quarin
The wine is fuller than usual, with taste, hidden tannins. Finishes with a taste of licorice and black fruit. It is the best I have tasted in a long time. Alcohol 13.7% ; pH 3.78. 86 points
