Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Merlot (30%). Dark ruby color with a slight garnet/orange rim. Wine was quite tight upon opening so aeration was needed. Aromas of black fruit, graphite and purple flowers. Flavors of black cherry, blackberry, plums, black olives and tobacco. Distinct oaky note on the long and somewhat sharp finish. Medium-plus body and acidity. Balance was a bit off. Probably should have aged this one a bit longer. — a month ago

Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (72%) and Merlot (28%) and is this chateau’s “second label.” Deep ruby color. Bright red fruit, wet soil and dried rose petals fill the nose. Full bodied with smooth tannins and a medium length finish. Same red fruits on the pallet with hints of exotic spices and tobacco. Strong value. Thank You Ron B! — 4 years ago

2008 vintage. Bernaleau family (also owners of Haut-Médoc Château de Braude and Moulis Château Galland). Situated in Arsac between Château du Tertre and Château d'Arsac. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (around 70%) with Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Great effort in a difficult vintage. Dark red with orangy rim. Cassis, flowers and cedar wood. Textbook elegant Margaux. Drinking beautifully without the harsh tannin that characterises many 2008s. Lovely and nice value. — 5 years ago
