Description

96 Points James Suckling 55% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon, 3% petit verdot, 2% cabernet franc. ‘‘This Abeille has a very intense dark red hue with bright highlights. Aromas of crisp red fruit, redcurrant, strawberry and blackcurrant dubs offer freshness and fruitiness in equal measure. A touch of white pepper counterbalances the fruit. In the mouth, the tension is pronounced. This vintage requires a little patience or aeration before tasting.’’ Stephen Carrier
