80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc & 5% Malbec. Very dark and still a bit tight, but the Cabernet Franc shines through nicely! 90-91

Right bank again. Newsa time to open up, 4h decant and still v. closed. Black cherry, dark plum, cedar wood, a whiff of v. dark chocolate and (dried) orange peel. Surprisingly big yet there’s some elegance to it. Starts showing a bit of fresh black currant leaf & menthol after some time. On the palate this is on the richer, burlier side - beefy tannins that only slowly mellow. Nice juicy acidity and dark fruit with a savoury kick. I miss the cool, gravelly elegance of the left bank a bit here. This is a v. proper Bordeaux, yet not quite my style. Good with food though.

Tight and not overly complex. However, you can taste it will age nicely. Okay for an every day merlot based Bordeaux. 80% merlot. 15% Cabernet Franc. 5% Malbec.

Solid. Serious. Needs air and time. That is all.

Very merlot, low aromatic energy but polished and smooth tannins. Very modern, and not interesting.
