RATINGS

92The Wine Advocate

...clean and precise bouquet... The fruit is beautifully delineated, almost pastille-like with subtle floral scents... The palate is fresh on the entry with supple red berries pierced by a fine line of acidity...well balanced with sufficient depth and body on the tobacco and cedar-tinged finish

92Vinous / IWC

...forward, showy bouquet... Blackberry mixes with hints of star anise and light tobacco notes, conveying energy and fine delineation... The palate is medium-bodied with sweet tannin and a fine bead of acidity, and quite dense and grippy in the mouth.

91Wine Spectator

Delivers sweet tobacco and plum aromas, with a lovely richness. Full-bodied, featuring lots of cedar, tobacco, chocolate and berry character. Long and silky in the palate. There is no sense in waiting; this is so delicious now.

90Stephen Tanzer

...Currant, meat, mocha and grilled nuts on the nose. Lush, sweet and smooth, with just enough vinosity to maintain its balance. A vin de plaisir whose lovely fruit and sweet, harmonious tannins make it very easy to taste today...

16Jancis Robinson

Vibrant red/black fruit evident. An elegant Mouton with herb and spice notes on the nose, leafy blackcurrant on the medium-bodied palate.

REGION

France, Bordeaux, Pauillac

Pauillac is Bordeaux’s most famous appellation, thanks to the fact that it is home to three of the region’s fabled first-growth châteaux, Lafite-Rothschild, Mouton-Rothschild and Latour. Perched on the left bank of the Gironde River north of the city of Bordeaux, Pauillac is centered around the commune of Pauillac and includes about 3,000 acres of vineyards. The Bordeaux classification of 1855 named 18 classified growths, including the three above mentioned First Growths. Cabernet Sauvignon is the principal grape grown, followed by Merlot. The soil is mostly sandy gravel mixed with marl and iron. Robert M. Parker Jr. has written that “the textbook Pauillac would tend to have a rich, full-bodied texture, a distinctive bouquet of black currants, licorice and cedary scents, and excellent aging potential.”
