94 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2012

(39% cabernet franc, 33% cabernet sauvignon, 17% petit verdot and 11% merlot):  Bright medium red.  Pungent aromas of red berries, blueberry and sandalwood lifted by a violet high tone.  Very pure and penetrating, boasting superb fruit intensity and precision.  Finishes firmly tannic, perfumed and very long, with excellent vinosity and grip.  A lovely pure expression of Ciel du Cheval terroir, this wine is still a baby and should be at its best in five or six years.
