From the Estager family. With
patience, this wine unwinds nicely, with black cherry/plum fruit and a fresh earthiness, with modest oak (25% new barrels). For me, this sets the benchmark for affordable right bank wine.

Sep 8th, 2013Earthy, soft, complex. Rich in terroir and with fully matured tannins. dry red fruit tobacco and earth predominate the palette with dry tart cherry and rust on the finish. At this age it has limited appeal but delivers in complexity and elegance.

Apr 20th, 2013Nice earthy aromas, more truffle than wet soil, with flavors of blackberry and plum. Decent concentration and soft tannins.
