The nose is layered and complex, with blackcurrant, blackberry, violet, graphite, cedar and subtle spice, often unfolding further with time in the glass.\n\nThe palate is full-bodied and finely structured, with firm yet polished tannins, vibrant freshness and a long, persistent finish. Dark fruit, tobacco, cocoa and mineral notes create real depth, while the balance suggests excellent aging potential for many years, if not decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the gravelly, clay-limestone soils of Saint-Estèphe, where the cooler Atlantic-influenced climate helps maintain freshness and structure.
