The wine is impressively concentrated, showing a deep, dense colour and an expressive nose of ripe black fruits, accented by hints of raspberry and prune. On the palate, it offers a polished and powerful structure, with firm yet well-integrated tannins balanced by vibrant acidity and the natural sweetness of the fruit. The profile is sleek and elegant, with layers of blackcurrant, cassis, spice, and a touch of vanilla oak. The wine is aged for 18 months in 55% new oak. Refined, harmonious, and full of character, this is a beautifully composed Pauillac with excellent ageing potential. Drink 2032-2042.
