This Cru Bourgeois Supérieur has a very rich colour. The intense
and always elegant bouquet displays aromas of ripe fruit, set off by
notes of spice and liquorice. On the palate the wine is remarkably well
balanced. Ripe, velvety tannins ensure a lingering, vanilla finish. Like
all the great Médoc wines, Chateau du Cartillon develops beautifully
with age.
