Deep blackcurrant colour. Ultra-sweet damsons. Firm and deep on the palate. Chewy but not tough. Satisfying and balanced and more to come. (JH)

Another potential sleeper of the vintage from the Cuvelier family (owners of Leoville Poyferre), the 2011 Le Crock is a blend of 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Possessing more texture, flesh and succulence than many St.-Estephes, this wine reveals a dark ruby color, a mulberry and black cherry-scented nose, medium body and atypically fine finish for a 2011. It should drink nicely for 7-8 years.

53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Purple and pretty headily worked. This seems much richer and sweeter than a typical St-Estèphe would be. A bit cookie-cutter Médoc really rather than a wine with really distinct personality. A mass-market offering? Astringent finish. (JR)
