A smaller scaled vintage that shows great symmetry, precise, red fruit and a burgundy-like elegance.

01 vintage that really shows the Merlot fruit but still framed by that Margaux terroir.

Nutty oak of a more raw pine nut type. Intense and ripe tannic red fruit, graphite. Purity, weightlessness. Really good without wild complexity of flavor, more textural. Bittersweet, chocolate. Tannins are just at the front of the mouth, not the back. 12.5%

Oct 22nd, 2013Smooth, hint of sour cherry, cigar and leather flavor, bolder than a normal Margaux due to the higher level of Petit Merlot in the blend, paired beautifully with a rich pumpkin ravioli dish.
