Mainly oak and graphie on nose at this stage. But on the palate perfumed, black fruit. Good acidity, freshness and vivacity. It has a rounder texture with fine tannins, minerals and is a very well crafted wine. Just a nice amount of grip, cool, black fruit on the finish. (CW 30/03/14)

Neal Martin
Cropped at 31hl/ha, a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, Jean-Charles Cazes told me that it was one of the shortest harvests because of the low yields between 1 and 12 October. The bouquet is has a pure floral bouquet that is quite Margaux-like in style. It is well defined with touches of crème de cassis and blueberry. The palate is medium-bodied with a rounded, quite succulent entry. The acidity is nicely judge and there is a cohesive finish that feels long and tender in the mouth. There is palpable linearity present here in keeping with the vintage, but there is also commendable length. Tasted April 2014. 89-91 points
