This is a preview as the wine is not yet bottled. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon was used this year, with a resultant reduction in Merlot. The wine spent 16 months in barriques, 70% new. 

It has a tighter, leaner structure than the 2016 with a slight green, herbal edge. I like the dark liquorice flavours here - reminiscent of a traditional St-Estèphe - and the firm, more austere, honest style. I love that the wine reflects the vintage in a very transparent way.
