The 2009, a blend of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, was cropped at 22 hectoliters per hectare, and possesses 14.2% alcohol. One of the top wines of the Cotes de Castillon, it boasts an inky/purple color as well as tremendous opulence, body, purity, and density, plenty of sweet boysenberry and blackberry fruit, noticeable, but subdued wood, full body, and an unctuous texture. It should drink well for 12-15+ years. (Tasted four times.)<br> Rating: (92-94)&nbsp; <a href=http://www.erobertparker.com/newsearch/pfio.aspx?id=156366 >Estimated Cost: $27-$36</a>http://www.erobertparker.comhttp://www.erobertparker.comTue, 07 Sep 2010 00:00:00 GMT
