Description

Mr Whirly says:

” I have yet to taste this wine but I bought it in 2012 knowing it was of great stature and cellaring potential and it has great Provenance in my cellar. I have listed this wine finally online in January 2024.

“This plump, fleshy, seductive, 100% Merlot cuvee from Christian Moueix exhibits herbal, sweet plum, cherry, and mocha notes along with supple tannin and decent acidity, but little depth and richness. It is a charming, sensual Pomerol to enjoy over the next decade.”

Robert Parker, 89 points, Wine Advocate

“A dark, broody nose of cherries, bonfire smoke and a hint of exotic spice. This is a concentrated, rich and powerful wine with a dense core of sweet black fruit, all wrapped in peppery spice. Whilst it is drinking now, it may benefit with a little more time to relax the firm tannins that hold this monolith together. Has enormous promise.” 

Farr Vintners tasting, December 2014. 93/100
