Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby color with a polished, youthful brightness. The nose typically shows ripe dark berries, plum, violets, graphite, cedar, and subtle spice, with a fine mineral edge that reflects its Saint-Émilion character. On the palate, it is usually medium to full-bodied with silky tannins, fresh acidity, and a layered core of blackcurrant, blackberry, and savory notes. The 2019 vintage suggests excellent balance and precision, with the structure to age gracefully for several years, gaining complexity and finesse over time.
