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 Petr Ossovsky – hence the name. The château owner is a Russian and the consultant is Louis Mitjavile.Darker and deeper in colour than the 2014 and with slightly more intense ripe fruit on the nose. Firm, chocolate-smooth texture and the oak as evident as on the 2014 but with richer fruit to stand up to it. Chewy, dry and oaky but balanced in that style. A little bit of heat on the finish. Will be interesting to see how this ages. (JH)Julia Harding10th February 2018
