  Flowers, salty oceanic scents, red and black fruits, and a background note of espresso open the aromatics. On the palate, the wine is concentrated, focused, pure, and intense. Layers of sweet, ripe fruits topped with crushed rocks, stones, and spice coat your palate in the long, opulent, finish. Drink from 2023-2045.

  Wow a real 💯 pointer. Textbook right bank typical
  Merlot character complex and seducing full bodied with lots of elegant tannins for a few more decades to comme. Long impressive finish.

  Intensely concentrated, the wine combines all its power with a strong sensation of minerality, layers of ripe, sweet, velvet textured fruits, salty tannins and purity. The wine lingers and expands on the palate for close to 60 seconds. Still young, give this stunner another 7-8 years and it will repay your patience with an incredible tasting experience.

  SLDS November 2017: Very fleshy - raspberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant, ash and tobacco. The palate has the same bold and exaggerated fruit profile, intense and punchy sweetness. It has all the right components to age well, it just feels like it needs 20 years to come together properly.

  Really lush and fun. Bit of a blockbuster, but not overdone. Too early, but already enjoyable with 2-hour decant.
