  Cherry blossoms, chocolate, plums, black cherries, and flowers create the aromatics. Medium-bodied, silky, elegant, and fresh, with a voluptuous texture that sets the table for the chocolate-covered black cherries, plums, and truffles. The wine is perfectly balanced between its freshness, and its opulent, nature. There was a time when second wines were simply second wines. Clearly, that is no longer the case. You can enjoy this on release and for the following 2 decades after that. The wine blends 50% Cabernet Franc, with 50% Merlot. Drink from 2027-2042. 93-95 Pts.

  91-93 Punkte. Wunderschöner Duft, Eukalyptus und Minzekräuter über reiner Cassifrucht, Kirschen; saftig und frisch am Gaumen, die Tannine des Cabernet Franc erinnern etwas an einen Loire-Wein, am Limit der Reife und genau darum mit viel Charakter und Rasse. (En Primeur Tasting April 2024, 13.5 Alkohol)
