winemaker's notes:
Le Dix shows a deeply red robe with purple shades. The nose displays ripe and intense red and black fruit aromas with lasting freshness. Ageing in barrels made at Lafite's cooperage grants the wine nice toasty, vanilla, and cinnamon notes that perfectly combine with blackcurrant, blueberry, cherry, and blackberry, with caramel, licorice, black chocolate and assorted peppers.
Powerful and complex in the mouth. Strong, full-bodied yet delicate and elegant tannins.
An unmistakable invitation to enjoy a round, consistent and prolonged finish.

critical acclaim:
"Racy, featuring a dark profile of blackberry, cassis and kirsch notes backed by fine tannins, as the finish pumps out layers of licorice, smoke and spice. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Carmenère. Drink now. 1,400 cases imported. "

Wine Spectator
"Harmonious aromas of cassis, vanilla and mocha are inviting. The palate, however, seems narrow and high in acidity; it's grinding and choppy, with herbal, tangy flavors of berry and cassis mixed with tobacco and herbs. Finishes rough and scratchy, with a lasting olive flavor. A very good wine but not the best Le Dix by any means."
