From the original Oakville estate, the 2013 Proprietary Red (which spends most of its time in T-5 Taransaud as well as Darnajou new oak) is a blend of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 6% Petit Verdot. It is a magnificent wine, tasting like a Pauillac from Oakville. The wine has notes of cedar wood, fruitcake, graphite, incense and charcoal embers interwoven with blackberry, cassis and unsmoked cigar tobacco. Full-bodied and multi-layered, with exceptional purity and depth, its great intensity and richness make this a prodigious effort that should drink well for 30 or more years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr. (42671)
The 2013 Futo is unusually dark and brooding in this vintage. A raw and unrestrained wine, the 2013 shows the pure power of the year in its explosive fruit, huge tannin and deep, resonant finish. It will be interesting to see what time brings here. This is an unusually virile Futo that is likely to require quite a bit of time to fully come together.- Antonio Galloni (12/2014)
