The nose is layered and expressive, with dark berries, black cherry, plum, cedar, graphite, violets, and subtle spice notes.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied with a fine balance between ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and well-integrated tannins.

The finish is precise and persistent, and the wine should continue to develop gracefully over the next several years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in Saint-Émilion, Bordeaux, this wine comes from a terroir known for its mix of clay and limestone soils, which help balance richness with freshness.
