Dence but elegant, expressive blacberry dolinated fruit, balanced, well integrated oak, soft tannins and medium acidity. Really like this wine.

A lovely 2nd wine from this famous chateaux. Not overly complex, but so clearly well made/put together. Medium purple in color, nose is red plumb from the merlot (52%) green bell pepper from the cab (35%). Cooked fruit too. And some oak for sure giving a hont of charred wood. Tertiary notes of mushroom and some umami flavors. On palette is plumb and cooked fruit, but a little harsh in acidity. Will it soften over time? Who knows. In the mean time a very nice way to sample this famous 2nd growth (biodynamic to boot.).

Color púrpura de capa alta. Aroma intenso, muy vivo, cerezas, fresas y grosella bañadas en un notable lecho mineral de punta de lápiz, y derivaciones a tabaco. Boca intensa, cuerpo alto, acidez muy bien equilibrada, expresión frutal con madera perfectamente integrada. Final largo
Vino espléndido, elegante, refinado, en estos momentos en estado de gracia.

Dark bright red, still youthful and very fruity. Smooth tannins and bouquets of dark fruits, berries. Definitely has ability to age further for 5-10 years to show its tertiary flavour.
