The broker Guillaume Lawton noted as early as 1815 that “it is very robust, with a fine color, and quite pronounced sappiness” (he describes the “sappiness” of the Médoc’s premiers crus as “something like the odor given off by finest sealing wax when it is burned”). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend: 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viewMoreModule_text viewMoreModule-reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wineRatings_rating\"\u003e96\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e Points \u003c\/span\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003eThis is so refined with beautiful currant, berry and some subtle chocolate and coffee.

Like the precision and the slightly austere cool blue fruits, pencil lead and liquorice root.

Unfurling to reveal aromas of cassis, plums, cigar wrapper, loamy soil and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and layered, with polished tannins, terrific depth at the core and a long, sapid finish.

Based on 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot hitting 12.5% natural alcohol, with a pH of 3.91, its deep ruby\/plum color is followed by medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of darker currants, cherries, damp earth, ripe tobacco, and graphite. Beautifully balanced, elegant, and straight-up seamless, it shows the classic, focused style of the vintage and will be a modern day classic from this terroir.

Dark cherry, dried herbs, scorched earth, tobacco, licorice, and menthol are all laced together. This virile, somber Pauillac needs time in the bottle to blossom. I won't be surprised if it is even better in another few years' time.
