Note di degustazione
60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Maceration: 18 to 24 days. pH 3.71. Classic nose, classic palate. Lead-pencil notes allied with leafy dark fruit, slightly green edge to the tannins but this adds to the freshness and lift. Very intriguing and complex. Lacks the concentration of the grand vin or a top vintage but there is great finesse here. Smooth and elegant – reminds me how the grand vin tasted back in the 80s/early 90s. (AWH)

Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Smoky cassis fruit on the nose. Good depth and purity of fruit on the palate. The tannins are soft and reserved, allowing the fruit to shine. Bright and lively, with a brambly, spicy finish. (TP)
The 2017 Réserve de la Comtesse is deep, dark and intense. Charcoal, grilled herbs, smoke, game and licorice add to a real impression of serious power. The 2017 is far more convincing in bottle than it was en primeur. An increase in Cabernet on the property has had a number effects, including moving the Réserve closer to the Grand Vin stylistically. The Cabernet is especially evident today in what is a an important, big second wine. Tasted four times.
The 2017 Reserve de la Comtesse is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it strolls out of the glass with nonchalant notions of preserved red plums, black cherries, kirsch and black raspberries with wafts of wilted roses, cinnamon toast, fallen leaves and tilled soil. Medium-bodied, the palate is very pretty, with delicately played tannins and bags of freshness, finishing wonderfully fragrant.
