The 2014 Les Trois Croix, the Fronsac estate of Patrick Léon, has a crisp and well-defined bouquet of blackberry and bilberry fruit, cedar and tobacco joining the chorus line with aeration. The palate is fresh and vibrant on the entry: crisp acidity, fresh and lively with black cherries and a touch of blueberry skipping along the elegant finish. This has turned out very well in bottle after a more modest showing in barrel.
