Jancis Robinson
90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. 30-year-old vines on sandy clay. 30-35 days' vatting. Ambient yeast. Malo and 21 months in new Radoux Blend barrels. Very unusual and attractive packaging: flagon-like bottle shape and Russian art on the label – a painting by Mikhail Vrubel – hence the name. The château owner is a Russian and the consultant is Louis Mitjavile.Deep greyish crimson. Lots of oaky spice on the nose and dark plummy fruit underneath, though the spice has the upper hand at the moment. Oaky sweetness on the palate and some milk chocolate notes, both flavour and texture. Chewy but smooth tannins and plenty of freshness. It's balanced in an oaky style and has impressive length.
