Deep plum colour, confident and dominant Cabernet aromatics, violets, bright vivid fleshy dark fruits, crushed raspberries, plum, greengage and even touches of cherry pit, squid ink, liqourice root, perhaps a little more bright and crunchy fruit than in richer years, but a success. 60% new oak for ageing, 15 different forests origin for the barrels. Pierre Seillan winemaker, harvest September 24 to October 5., 3.60 pH, 45hl/h yield (after sorting), with just 0.3% chaptilisation. A great classic St Emilion.

(Saint-Émilion; from a property of 24 hectares on the coteaux of Saint-Émilion below de Ferrand and opposite Tertre Rôteboeuf; 45% Merlot; 49% Cabernet Franc; 6% Cabernet Sauvignon; pH 3.6; aging in oak barrels from 15 different French forests, 60% of which are new; 13.1% alcohol, with 0.3% from chaptalisation; tasted at the property). Just the second vintage in which the Cabernet is in the majority. Lush, deep, rich and fully ripe with an aromatic opulence and swagger that I find rare in the vintage. Black cherry, a touch of walnut and deep dark berry fruits, all quite briary. The oak use is very subtle. The blueberry, violet and peony florality is very beautiful and the leafy Cabernet Franc signature is very profound. Ample, pushing at the cheeks and very full in the mouth, with the calcaire tannins pulling the wine downwards and grounding it in the soil, giving this great gravitas. For that to happen it needs something to grab onto and it has it here as there is considerable density and depth and concentration without any dryness or tartness at all. The southern/south western exposition here really helps. There’s a wondrously juicy, sapid eloquence to this. Very energetic.
