The nose is closed at first, then the fruit is expressed, with a slightly dominant woodiness. On the
palate, the texture is tight and dense. Then the heart of the wine comes through, with solid,
compact balance. Very dense finish, and yet the tannins are "almost light and airy"! Great length
with long, lingering flavours.ABV 12.5%Special Price - No Further Discount Applies

2012 was characterized by difficult weather conditions in the Bordeaux region.
After a relatively mild winter, the spring was mostly wet and rainy, especially April, with a hail storm
on the 24th. Such conditions hampered fertilization, leading to fears of reduced yields. Work in the
vineyard was as vital as ever.
June and July alternated heat and humidity. The weather became more stable from the beginning
of August, enabling the healthy grapes to finish ripening in good conditions.
Nevertheless, there was considerable variation in their degrees of ripeness and a great deal of
sorting work was carried out by our teams from the end September.

| Critics Review | James Suckling - 95 PointsSuperb structure for the vintage with blackcurrants, cedar, mushroom and sweet tobacco character. Full-bodied yet reserved and tight with an impressive density. Long finish. Better in 2020. |
