RATINGS

97-98James Suckling

...dried-mango, fresh-pineapple, and sliced-lemon aromas and flavors. Full-bodied and very ripe, yet it’s framed by bright acidity. Tangy and vivid with a long, intense finish.

93-95The Wine Advocate

...scents of pink grapefruit, lemon drops, orange blossoms and candied ginger with hints of jasmine, lime cordial and coriander seed. The medium-bodied palate reveals compelling poise and sophistication, with a racy line of freshness lifting the citrus and spice layers to a long, opulent finish. Very impressive!

92-94Jeb Dunnuck

...exotic bouquet of mandarin oranges, white peach, and honeyed flowers...medium-bodied, soft, nicely textured style on the palate. It shows bright acidity on the finish and is going to be outstanding.

91-93Vinous / IWC

...laced with hints of pineapple, mint, white flowers, apple and lemon confit. An exotic note from the Muscadelle add character.

17+ Jancis Robinson

...ripe spectrum with citrus (grapefruit) and floral (acacia) notes. Palate rich and full with a hint of vanilla oak on attack. Loads of drive, though, and plenty of minerally freshness alongside.

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.”
