Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby to garnet hue, hinting at its concentration and structure. The nose is classically Bordeaux in style, with layers of dark berry fruit, plum, cedar, tobacco, graphite, and subtle floral and smoky nuances. On the palate, the wine is usually precise and composed, balancing ripe black fruit with fresh acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a mineral backbone that gives length and definition. The finish is persistent and nuanced, and this is a wine built for long aging, with the potential to develop greater complexity over decades.
