No pro ratings that I could find; 85 Winetex; $13.80

80% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc. This estate is owned by the Thienpoints who own Vieux Ch. Certain and Cheval Blanc among others.

It is drinkable Bordeaux that matures fairly quickly with lower acids and soft tannins. I’ve had the 1998 and 1999 which are also decent. This wine was dominated by dark fruits and a bit of pepper.
