  Belle robe pourpre limpide. Nez sur les fruits noirs, du pruneau, des épices. Une certaine acidité est présente et les tanins sont bien fins. Complexe en bouche, avec des fruits et des épices (vanille). C'est joli, contrairement à la bouteille, qui fait mention trois fois de Bernard Magrez dont une fois avec sa photo. Je crois qu'on a compris qui est le propriétaire!

  The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and fig. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), oak and vanilla. The body is full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

  Popped and poured during some hours.
  Deep dark ruby, quite opaque and with quite slow legs.
  Nose is open, cassis, blackberries, roasted plums, cocoa, incense, tobacco, laurel leaves, graphite, bell pepper, cedarwood, espresso.
  Quite on the elegant side, smoky, but with nice fruit despite being a little "green".
  The palate is medium bodied, with medium high acidity and a nice freshness throughout.
  Tannins are polished but vibrant, red and black fruits, licorice, tobacco, earth, smoke.
  The wine is quite balanced now, it's pleasurable to drink despite not having a crazy complexity.
  Surely young, i will maybe wait 3/5 years to develop further complexity but no need to wait longer for this.
  A nice Medoc, with a classic '17 style, elegant and masculine.
  The wine is made from 60% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sav., 3% Cabernet Franc and aged in 30% new oak.

  좀단단, 처음에는 피망맛 많이남. 최소1시간 잔 breathing후에 좀나아짐. 1시간 반정도 했는듯. 신맛있고 타닌은 강하지않고 드라이

  Smoky, deep red fruits, espresso, tobacco, oak and wet earth are easy to find here. Round, forward, open and almost ready, give this a few years in the cellar to further develop.
