70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc

Robert Parker: 96, Wine Spectator: 96, James Suckling: 97

Robert Parker: An incredibly fresh, lively 2003 (the pH is only 3.6 and the alcohol is 13.1%), this wine offers a dense ruby/purple color along with full body and a remarkable nose of black currants, kirsch, lead pencil shavings and vanilla. Opulent, full-bodied and close to full maturity, it is a seamless classic that will age for 15-20 more years. Kudos to the Delon family for such a brilliant achievement in a tricky vintage.
