A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, aged in new barrels (70%), on fine lees, for 15 months. A suave Saint-Émilion with dark fruit, fig and tobacco character together with sweet tobacco notes and beautifully textured tannins, concluding on a wonderfully long finish.

The 2009 Clos de l’Oratoire feels a little flat on the nose with copious sweet mulberry and red plum fruit, moderate definition but somehow a little static. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, fine acidity, quite cohesive with sage and white pepper towards the finish. Moderate length. Very fine, but not as long as its peers. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin1st March 2019
