Tasting notes
Mid-crimson with a toasty nose. Not trying that hard but ending up with good balance and a fine expression of this particularly ripe, attractive vintage. (JR)

(No tasting note given)
Full medium ruby. Withdrawn nose hints at cassis, licorice and mint. Shows sweet flavors of cassis and black raspberry but finishes with somewhat tough tannins. A rather extractive style, yet mostly avoids dryness.
About the producer
Situated at the highest point in the Médoc (at a huge 43 metres above sea-level), this estate is thought to be named after a spring on the site, from which Henry II supposedly drank (a “royal fountain”).
