This is a very concentrated wine with lots of black fruit and spices. The palate is complex and layered. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet carries the day.The. Petit verdot provides substantial color making this wine opaque.

From a magnum. Strong tanins at this early stage, chewy. Dark, plum nose and long finish.

On its own it would have been just fine, but next to its big brother, the Grand Vin du Castel, it did pale a little. Enjoyable and very drinkable wine, but lacking the depth and complexity of the Grand Vin. Will also benefit from a few more years of bottle age.
