CRITIC REVIEWS
Richard Hemming MW
89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc. Sweet, ripe fruit. Finely tuned balance with very gentle tannins. Surprisingly gentle. They match the light body, however, and make it approachable in youth. Straightforward, fruity and digestible – though there is a length and concentration that suggests grander development awaits.

When tasted en primeur, this was a lightweight Mouton, but it too has gained weight over the years. Theres solid fruit and integrated oak on the blackcurrant-scented nose. The palate is succulent and fleshy, and shows surprising power without too much density. The fruit is ripe and appealing, but it lacks some vigour and persistence.
