Parfaits tanins exprimés avec fruits travaillés, peut vieillir 10n d'années voire +! Goût typique bien rond.

Complex; fruity notes with earthy richness and spice; drank it prior to dinner with some light, peppery snacks, which enhanced the flavor.

Licorice, youthful plum, and hints of tobacco; firm tannins trail mouthwatering acidity. Somewhat unimpressive for a Grand Vin de Bordeaux in that the fruit remains stubborn to release and merge more harmoniously with structural components. Questionable aging potential.
