Bordeaux Fifth Growth is the level many think has made the most progress in recent years, and this producer leads the field. This wine has beautiful creme de cassis notes, a generous, concentrated mouthfeel and supple tannins.

The medium-bodied 2011 possesses a saturated ruby/purple color as well as beautiful creme de cassis notes, a generous, concentrated, well-made, medium to full-bodied style and supple tannins. A successful effort in 2011, it should be drinkable in 3-4 years and last for 15+. It is a sleeper of the vintage. Drink 2017-2032.

A dense, chewy wine for the vintage, with plum, currant and blackberry character. Full body, polished tannic texture and a bright finish. Very pretty indeed. This needs time to soften. Try in 2019.
