  Dark in color, the array of floral notes shoot out with violets, lilacs, and roses. From there you find truffle, red and black fruits, cigar box and cedar also come IT is It is the striking nose powered by violets, and lilacs that gets the wine going, before finding all the currants, black cherries, mint, and spice in the perfume. On the palate, the wine is lush, energetic, long, deep, and rich. There is purity, paired with opulence in the long, vibrant, velvet-textured finish, with just a hint of chalk that appears on the backend. The wine is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13.5% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. Once aging, this is a new, record-setting percentage of Cabernet in the blend. 14% Press wine. 13.5% ABV, 3.6 pH. The harvest took place September 7 - September 20. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. The Grand Vin was produced from 50% of the harvest. Drink from 2029-2065. 96-98 Pts.

  95-97 Punkte. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, der höchste Anteil seit je im Grand Vin; tief, floral, Rosenblüten, Kirschen, Cassis; am Gaumen dicht gebaut, vertikal, frisch, viel Druck und Spannung, knackig, saftig, Massen an Tanninen umgarnen die Frucht, salines Finale auf rote Beeren und Blutorangen. Einmal mehr ausgezeichnet, pure Eleganz! (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 13.5 Alkohol)
