Well … shit. With a slight chill this is just sublime. Much better integration of oak than its other Pauillac neighbors. Charcoal ash, subtle pipe tobacco, dark berry compote. Superb.

Great minerality supporting the cab sauv/merlot/cab franc/pv blend. Nice subtle dark fruit with some tang from the currant.

Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (64%) Merlot (31%), Cabernet Franc (4%) and Petite Verdot (1%). Dark ruby/purple color. Intense aromas of red-and black berry/cherry fruit with hints of graphite, dried purple flowers and slate. Pallet is quite (black) fruit forward featuring blackberries, currants and plums. Additional notes of black tea, baking spices and tobacco. Very silky tannins and beautiful acidity. Medium-plus body and a long lasting finish. Nice depth and density. Thank you for bringing this one, James W!

Lovely bright medium ruby color with slightly purple reflection
Lot of fresh red fruit, lively, red flower, oaky note, sweet spice but super elegant. There something sweet on the nose like ripe red berries
Big body, high tannin, med acidity, medium alc but super velvety and sexy
