This well-endowed Pauillac has a deep plum/purple color, and a classic nose of cassis, licorice, barbeque smoke and a touch of oak. Medium-bodied and dense with fleshy fruit as well as silky tannins, this is a delicious wine to drink now.
A very pure rendering, with plum, cassis and bitter cherry fruit wound together, while bright iron, violet and stony notes fill in on the finish. A more elegant, minerally style of Pauillac.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
