Raw meat and sawdust - proper young claret is this Le Crock. There is ripe, sweet fruit and graphite on the palate, fine extraction and tannins and therefore a smooth texture. Good finish. (CW18/05/15)

The Château Le Crock 2014 is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot and 8% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. It has a more tertiary bouquet than its peers, a little dusty perhaps at the moment. Broody and introspective. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe and generous entry, dusky black fruit laced with chalk dust, powdery in texture with a good concentration if not great finesse toward the "blocky" finish. 86-88 points
