2012 G Acte 4, Bordeaux Superieur

Description

A sleeper of the vintage, it is an attractive, subtle, medium-bodied Bordeaux with already emerging complexity, plenty of mulberry and black cherry fruit, sweet tannin, and a surprisingly long finish. It should drink well for 7-8 years.

Critics reviews

Julia Harding MW 17/20
Deep cherry red. Just a hint of leafiness on the nose but it's ripe Cabernet Franc, which was not always easy in 2012. Paper-fine and elegant, completely fluid and with extreme finesse. Totally fresh and refreshing. Has a real tension and a spring in its step. Quite a grip even though the tannins are so fine grained. Needs more time than most Bordeaux Supérieurs. julia_harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17 Apr 2013

It should drink well for 7-8 years. From Baptiste Guinaudeau (the proprietor of Chateau Lafleur), the 2012 G Acte 4 is composed of 51% Merlot and 49% Cabernet Franc.robert_parker - Wine Advocate - Apr 2013
