A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot, raised in 40% new oak, the Desmirail has a slightly herbaceous nose but nothing to get worried about as there is some attractive earthy fruit to complement it. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly chalky tannins, crisp blackberry, graphite and cedar, quite conservative and masculine towards the finish. Fine. Tasted April 2011. Score: 88 - 90 Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 19 April 2011 |

The merest hint of sweet oak here on the nose. Soft, curry-powder nose. Then quite dry tannins. But all set for a pretty glorious future. Quite dramatic. Score: 17 - 18 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2018-2028 18 April 2011 |

Elegant and expressive Margaux fruit, almost understated, but has ripeness and finesse, very attractive medium term. Score: 16 - 17 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2015-2025 01 April 2011 |
