| Description: | Case Price = $42.99 per bottle (add 12+ quantity to your basket). Notes from the Winemaker:. Color: purple with good intensity. Nose: very expressive, refined and elegant, combining fresh, mentholated notes with toasted and spicy aromas. Palate: generous and powerful, with good tannic structure and a long fresh, liquoricey finish. A classic, distinguished Pauillac. The Vintage:. 2012 was a difficult vintage that presented numerous challenges in the vineyard. After a harsh winter, the cool spring slowed down flowering, which was spread over a fairly long period. Violent hailstorms hit some vineyards on 24 April. Fertilisation was hampered by the rain in early June, resulting in flower abortion and uneven grape size, and therefore lower yields. The wet weather and lack of sunshine continued until mid-July but then August and early September were hot and dry, with a substantial variation between day and night-time temperatures, finally enabling the grapes to reach a satisfactory degree of ripeness before the heavy rain at the end of September. |
