a voluptuous blockbuster in the style we are becoming accustomed to from über-consultant michel rolland: big, deeply fruited (black cherries) and plush, with elegantly etched spice shadings from new oak. the tannins are supple but substantial; it should age for a long time. made entirely from old-vine malbec and named after the pigeon coop in the château's courtyard.
