Decanter 96
Certified organic estate grapes from this famous vineyard see 21 months' ageing in 60% new French oak. Intense, meaty aromas give way to red and black fruit, dried herbs, wet river stones and loamy earth. Such a gorgeous palate: juicy layers of blackberry, plum, tobacco leaf and sweet cedar underscored by dark chocolate. Muscular tannins are arresting and need more time in bottle.
