90 Points

Saturday, November 20, 2021 - Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rim and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity of black fruit of blackberry and cassis, pungent spice of liquorice, kernel notes of coffee, mineral notes of graphite, oak notes of smoke, maturity notes of savoury. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has high tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium alcohol, full body and medium (+) intensity flavours of black fruit of blackberry and cassis, oak notes of cedar, mineral notes of earth, sweet spice of nutmeg. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Good quality Pauillac with an intense nose showing good complexity, with plenty of black fruit, smoky and minerality graphite characters. On the palate it is well-balanced, quite tannic but smooth, with good concentration of flavours and a reasonable length on the finish. It is ready to drink now and can further develop for another 2-3 years.
