89 Points
Wednesday, November 29, 2023 - Medium deep brick red.
Aromas of ripe plum, cassis, stable, cigar box, leather, stock cube, cloves and forest floor.
Lively rounded tannins. Blackcurrant acids and sloe bitterness.
Medium body.
Palate of blueberry, blackcurrant, rowanberry, tobacco, wet tarmac, mint and wet grass.
A structure-driven, slightly green, still typical Medoc where cassis fruit, cedar and spice are in beautiful balance. Yet, the wine lacks complexity and energy. It might improve somewhat with age. Tasted 2023.
