• Aroma: Concentrated black fruit and cassis notes lead, beautifully integrated with hints of tobacco, cedarwood, and licorice. A true expression of Left Bank Bordeaux.
• Flavour: The palate is elegantly structured with refined, silky tannins. It maintains a lovely freshness and density, making it both immediately enjoyable and suitable for short-term cellaring. The finish is long and satisfying.
