In this vintage, what makes the difference is the freshness that only great wines can retain. The Merlot grape gives a very pleasant velvety texture, enhanced by crisp, spicy tannins. A great success that has not escaped the notice of the greatest oenologists and critics, for a price-quality-pleasure ratio that is virtually unbeatable in the Bordeaux region. A foretaste of Pétrus (at a small price), and Parker said so!
A smooth, refined wine, which bears a striking resemblance to its 1855-classified neighbors...
