On the nose, it is classically Pauillac in profile: cassis, blackberry, cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite and subtle hints of spice, leather and earthy complexity as it matures.\n\nOn the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, with polished tannins, layered dark fruit and notable mineral tension. The finish is long and refined, with impressive balance and the sort of complexity that rewards patience; while already expressive, it has the concentration and framework to continue developing gracefully for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from the exceptional terroir of Pauillac on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, this wine benefits from gravelly soils that provide excellent drainage and help the vines produce fruit of precision and intensity.
