Along with the freshness of 2008, the wine has weight and an excellent tannic character. Powered by juicy fruit, it reveals black currant and damson skins as well as perfumed acidity. Serious, likely to age for 3–4 years.

A selection of Merlot from Château Robert, this is a concentrated, solid wine. It is still young, with its firm structure and juicy acidity still right up front. Black currant, smoky spice and red berry freshness combine with the aging potential of the dry core. Age for 4–5 years.
