£170.00
Out of stock
This distinguished Bordeaux wine boasts a deep ruby color and an enticing bouquet of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and graphite, accented by notes of tobacco and cedar. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with firm tannins and a harmonious balance of ripe fruit and savory complexity. The finish is long and refined, making it an ideal pairing for roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses. A quintessential expression of Pauillac’s rich heritage.
Reviews
The first bottle of this was denuded of vitality and out of sorts (indeed this is a major problem with this vintage.) Not corked, but previous experience told me that it was not “happy” bottle. Fortunately I stayed for another to be opened and this far more representative. Ripe, dark berried fruits on the nose with touches of mulberry, briary, graphite and sous-bois. The palate is medium-bodied with a crisp entry, tarry black fruits on the entry, sharp acidity, very tight but that is probably because this bottle had just been opened. Very fine. 92 points The Wine Advocate
