A blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this wine exhibits sweet tannin, medium body and blue and black fruits intermixed with underbrush, licorice, cedar and spice box in a medium-bodied, elegant style with moderate tannin. Forget it for several years and Drink it over the following decade.
I had hoped this wine would show slightly better, as things are clearly on the upswing at this large estate in the Margaux appellation. (The property includes the vineyards of the now-defunct Labegorce-Zede, which have been incorporated into Labegorce.)
