89-92 Points | International Wine Cellar , April 2012
(94% merlot with 6% cabernet franc; 76 IPT; 4 g/l total acidity; a 73% selection for the grand vin; 100% new oak; 13.5% alcohol): Good full, deep red. Aromatically pure nose offers scents of black cherry, blackcurrant, spices and minerals. Sweet, dense and suave if currently a bit youthfully withdrawn, conveying excellent tension and grip thanks to nicely integrated acidity. Finishes very long, with mounting, rather austere tannins. A bit forbidding today but has the stuffing to age well. The harvest occurred over the usual 15 days, but started ten days earlier than usual: the merlot was picked on September 6-7 and 13-21, and the cabernet franc between September 19 and 21.
