The color is inky purple. The nose has blueberries, blackberries with a woodsy scent. On the palate I am tasting blackberries and good dark fruit with a smokey finnish. Velvety mouth feel with silky tannins. I am very pleased with this Right Bank Bordeaux. For someone who loves the Left Bank wines this Right Bank has turned my head.

Black tea, dark chocolate, oak, pomegranate. Big, concentrated juice with velvety tannins on the palate. A little boring and predictable at the start but shows a lot of more complexity after 1 hour of decanting. Hints of fennel and tarragon on the finish.

Bought en primeur & stored in the cupboard under the stairs, it is very nice indeed to come home and finish off the last glass in the bottle ...

Very round and soft in the mouth, well balanced, long lasting. Blueberry, plum and spices. Really really good! Quite affordable at 200HKD.

Big nose with loads of dark berries and herbal/green notes. Dense with loads of structure. Needs more time
