Tasting Notes
酒評 | This property in the Graves is owned and run by the Cazes family of Lynch Bages. Previous vintages here have offered very good quality and delivered attractive, forward drinking with extremely modest release prices. The vines (planted in 1988) are now reaching maturity. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Merlot with 10% Cabernet Franc. Aged in one third new oak and the rest in one and two year old barrels from Lynch Bages. 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc in 2016, with 30% new oak. Bright, crunchy cherry fruits on the nose with a hint of all spice and cedar. The palate is brambly and juicy, with forward red and black fruits, toast and vanilla bean. Clean, juicy, soft and approachable, with early drinking pleasure clearly in mind. |
