Soft, round, berry fruit, vibrant acidity, and hints of damp earth, black currants and cherries are all present in this elegant, mid-weight wine produced by the owners of Cos d’Estournel. A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. Score: 87 - 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2012-2019 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot. Deep black cherry colour. Rich spicy dark fruit. Cedary and really taut, though the sample is pretty cold. Not much flesh but upright and elegant. Score: 16 - 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2016-2024 Made by the team at Cos d'Estournel there is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot. Rich, ripe nose and with a thick texture. Soft, ripe tannins. Score: 86 - 88 Albany Vintners Very pure, almost sweet, with a creamy edge and gorgeous cherry pie, lightly toasted vanilla and creamed plum notes. Tasted non-blind. Score: 87 - 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, the Goulée 2011 has a modest, tertiary bouquet with dried herbs and sous-bois more pronounced that in the 2010 or 2009. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins with a tapered, but crisp leafy finish. Fine. Tasted April 2012. Score: 86 - 88 Neal Martin, erobertparker.com Floral red fruits, elegant texture, and attractive forward style. Score: 16 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2013-2018 |

A consistent winner from proprietor Bernard Magrez, this excellent wine represents very good value. Elegant soft berry fruit aromas intermixed with hints of roasted herbs, loamy soil and Asian soy sauce jump from the glass of this blend of 63% Merlot, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc. Medium-bodied and pure with abundant fruit and decent acidity, it should drink well for 5-6 years. Score: 87 - 88 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2012-2018 Well-focused, with a racy feel to the plum and raspberry fruit, and good toasted spice on the finish. Score: 87 - 90 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Plummy fleshy fruit and good oak. Score: 15 - 16 Decanter, Decanter.com |
