Rated 94+ points by the Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate: `Planted in pure limestone above Gerard Perse`s other famous vineyard/terroir, Chateau Pavie, this 10-acre site`s vines average 47 years of age. Fashioned from remarkably low yields, this blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc is a powerful, dense, tannic wine that will require considerable time to round into shape. It exhibits a dense purple color along with sweet aromas of mulberries, black currants, minerals, cold steel, graphite, and background spice. Full-bodied, highly-extracted, dense, and made in an unfashionably tannic, broodingly backward style, this is a wine for the ages. It requires 8-10 years of cellaring, and should last for 25-30+.--Tasting Note by Robert Parker--
