CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Powerful and concentrated, this is just so tasty with plenty of fine grained tannins, but also the depth and width of a lovely Petit Lion. It has touches of graphite, peony and violet as it opens up and strikes the right tone between intensity and keeping the St-Julien balance. It holds the line right through the palate until those tannins become a little biting on the finish. 30% new oak; 3.69pH.

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc. Young-vine Cabernet and old (40–80 years) Merlot. Cask sample. Dense and reserved with the meaty edge of the Merlot most prominent. Juicy and quite broad across the palate, the tannic frame a little more robust than that of the grand vin but refined all the same. (JL)
