"Clos Manou, a well-run estate in the northern Medoc, has fashioned a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 42% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot that achieved 13.5% natural alcohol, which may be a record for a wine from this area. Sweet black cherry and cassis fruit, loamy soil, and underbrush notes are followed by a ripe, round, seductive 2008 with soft tannins." Wine Advocate #182, Apr 2009 |
