The 2011 L’Esprit des Pavots, a 1,060-case blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, exhibits sweet tannin as well as espresso roast, red and black currants, licorice and tar, a touch of herbaceousness, medium to full body, and a decade of drinkability.
