Note di degustazione
Performing even better than I remember, former proprietor Eric Prissette’s 2000 may be the finest wine he ever made at this modestly sized St.-Emilion estate. A blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it exhibits a dense ruby/purple color with little evolution, abundant notes of melted licorice, black currants, blackberries, coffee, and chocolate, and a hint of toasty oak in the background. It is a full-bodied, layered, rich wine to enjoy over the next decade.

Ruby-purple. Highly perfumed nose combines blueberry, violet pastille, rose petal and licorice. Lush, thick and sweet, with a firm mineral spine giving shape to the deep flavors. Chewy and pliant; already offers enticing inner-mouth floral quality. Finishes very long and subtle. A very fresh wine that not at all overdone.
