Inky and dark in the glass. Nutmeg over plum, black raspberry and a touch of spicy oak on the bold rich nose. Dark in the mouth with very fine tannins. Spicy black fruits are underscored by a streak of clay and minerals. Long intense finish.
Much care was taken in 2007 during harvest. The tiny 4 hectare plot was hand-picked between October 3 and October 18.

Bright, intense ruby color. Gorgeous fresh bright fruits. Big raspberry and black raspberry with just a touch of spice and minerality aromas. In the mouth it is like drinking fresh raspberry juice. Velvety with smooth tannins and nicely balanced structure. This Chateau has consistently impressed me over the past several vintages.
