The nose is expected to be expressive and layered, with notes of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, and subtle spice, alongside the savoury, earthy nuances that often define Saint-Estèphe.\n\nOn the palate, it should feel structured and polished, with ripe dark fruit, fine-grained tannins, and fresh acidity lending both drive and precision.
