A ferrous nearly sanguine Bordeaux that is rather more handsome than beautiful in that this Pauillac is masculine in its sandalwood, cedar plank, a cassis black currant and red plum, a wood smoke and a leathern and aromatic hardwoods with a breath of air only improving this all the more -remarkable! Thank you John and Peter Wackel!

From one of the warmest Bordeaux vintages in recent years. The warmth produced ripe fruit. Blackberries, blueberries, black plum, raspberries, black cherry cola, tobacco leaf, leather, vanilla toast, forest floor, resolved gritty tannins and a hint of tar on the finish.
