Robert Parker's Wine Advocate : A spectacular wine from this nearly 50-acre vineyard situated atop St.-Emilion's famed limestone plateau [...]. It achieved 14% natural alcohol and yields were 31 hectoliters per hectare. One of the stars of the vintage, it is elegant yet powerful, rich and authoritative with abundant black raspberry, blueberry, graphite and toasty vanillin notes. Full-bodied and super rich for a 2012, it is packed with potential. The tannins are ripe as well as abundant suggesting several years of bottle age will be required. It should turn out to be a 20 year proposition.
Blend : 70% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc and 6% Cabernet Sauvignon.
