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.’’
