Blackcurrant, bitter-chocolate, dried-lavender and graphite aromas. It’s full-bodied with firm, tightly knit tannins. Tight and mineral at the moment. Really well-crafted. Try from 2024.
Considerable renovation work is beginning to pay off in the quality of this latest vintage from this estate. The wine has depth, concentration, dark-chocolate flavors, rich tannins and equally rich blackberry fruits. With its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon,the wine is set for aging and will not be ready before 2025.
A little subdued on the nose, but with real power and direction. Tasted a few times and extremely impressed with the layers of liquorice, black chocolate and cassis, harnessing the power of a St-Estèphe and adding a gourmet twist.
