Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep garnet, with a vibrant purple rim.
• Aroma: A complex bouquet of ripe black fruit (blackberry, cassis) and red cherry, beautifully integrated with gentle notes of baking spice and vanilla.
• Palate: Silky and full-bodied on the entry. The palate unfolds with a suave, velvety texture and fine, polished tannins-the signature 'iron fist in a velvet glove' of Margaux. The focus is on pure, luscious fruit.
• Finish: Elegant, long, and fruit-driven.

Pairing Suggestions

Ideal for a luxurious Sunday Roast or a sophisticated dinner party. Serve at 17°C. While enjoyable now, this wine will benefit from 1-2 hours of decanting.
