Its aromas centre on blackcurrant, dark cherry, cedar and graphite, developing with aeration to reveal spice, tobacco and subtle floral notes. On the palate, concentrated dark fruit is balanced by fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins, leading to a long, complex finish with classic Médoc character.\n\nBuilt for cellaring, the 2016 has significant aging potential. With time, its structure and layers of flavour should continue to evolve; it can also be enjoyed now with generous aeration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C.
