A well balanced ckassical and elegant Pauillac made from a blend of 76% CS and 24% Merlot, 50% new oak was used. 5% of production lost due to frost. Deep garnet, ruby hue. Intense aroma of blackcurrants, herbs, cherries, sweet tobacco, earthy and leathery notes, pencil lead, bay leaf, hint of raspberries. Medium+ body, soft and elegant structure, fresh and herbaceous notes along intense black fruit flavours, cloves, leather hints. Concludes with well integrated medium+ acidity and finely grained high tannins.

After decant, this wine opened nicely. Medium body with berries, mushroom, little earth. Smooth and very good drinking. good finish. Wish it would have a bit more body, but it is good. Leave for 4-5 years

Tighter fruit core with youthful black currants, some blackberries, light plum core, graphite, wood, spices and with a deep gravel layer.. Good full-bodied with slightly dense fruit of black currants, redder berries, purple fruit peel, matches, leather and with a nice layer of salt. Long and complex finish. Good acidity. Firm tannins, towards a little unfinished, but this is possible. Dense wine, so this needs 15 years in the cellar. Nice wine with great potential. 92 points. For now. (92-94p)

Medium-bodied, forward, soft, classic and floral, the red fruit is sweet, fresh and juicy, with a good sense of purity and refinement.
