Stunning, pure class and elegance. This would rival most first wines in Pomerol in terms of quality. Dark red plum, mocha, chestnut, mushroom and bay leaves. The palate is lush, round and velvety, dark red tree fruit, milk chocolate and walnut, the mid palate is alluring, elegant and layered finish long with a slight chocolate finish.
Popped and poured over 5 hours. Very fruit forward nose if raspberry and cherries, palate tge same with sone cassis, very silky mouthfeel with sone tannins and some acidity, has a hint of earthiness towards the end of the bottle this is one of those bottles that is difficult to describe and put into words how great it is, outstanding considering it’s a 2nd! Has a long finish, is very primary, don’t know how it will age but it’s drinking great now! Wish I could find more in the US! Excellent!

Soft, silky and vibrant, with so much fruit, lift, polish and refinement, it is difficult to believe this is their second wine. Fragrant, silky, sensuous and opulent, the wine leaves you with loads of black plums, licorice and chocolate. Enjoy this while waiting for the Grand Vin to develop. Drink from 2024-2036.
