2020 vintage. Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), Petit Verdot (3%) and Cabernet Franc. A very good second wine, in a lighter style,but try to type for the appellation, and a great introduction to the grand vin. A skilful, harmonious blend with admirable purity and a soft mouthfeel. Good spicy length. Nice value. Abv. 13,5%.

Vintage 2012 - drinks well now, in the smell some spicyness and hints of a stable, good balance. Good performance in this year, gives joy.

Nose of spices, dust, grass, red fruits and plum. Amazing palate, fresh, woody and juicy.
