With an equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, this firm wine has a juicy background, nurtured by consultant Hubert de Boüard (of Château Angelus). Chocolate and spice notes mix with the dry w…

The enthusiastic use of wood for this wine gives a dark, spicy character that masks any fruit. Less new wood would have helped highlight the natural fruitiness of the wine. Leave it until 2020 and th…
