It is sourced from specific plots, including some outside the main 'Enclos,' and is crafted with the same precision, undergoing maturation in 50-60% new French oak barrels. This dedication ensures a wine that embodies the power and structure of Pauillac, yet with a charming elegance ready to enjoy sooner than its elder sibling.<\/p>\n<h2>Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Colour:<\/strong> A magnificent, deep ruby-to-garnet hue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aromas:<\/strong> Intense and complex, featuring a core of blackcurrant, bilberry, and plum, complemented by the classic M\u00e9doc signature of pencil lead, cigar box, and earthy minerality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavour Profile:<\/strong> Dense and brooding on the entry, evolving into a medium-to-full-bodied palate with a fine, layered tannic structure. It offers superb purity of fruit and great balance, culminating in a long, savoury, and persistent finish that speaks clearly of its Pauillac heritage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Food Matching &amp; Serving<\/h2>\n<p>Serve between 16-18\u00b0C.
