95 Points

Saturday, April 27, 2024 - Opulent nose, black fruits, graphite, cedar, coconut and vanilla.

Structured palate with magnificent intensity. A 4-hour decanting was necessary to soften this noble beast. The juice is thick and velvety with a magnificent balance, thanks in particular to a fine acidity which stretches the wine to infinity. Second part of the palate is spicier with flavors of undergrowth. Great finish with a still notable tannic mass which will take a few more years to fully blend, good length on the graphite.

Excellent Pauillac, still very young.
