Deep garnet core with brick hues on the rim, indicating maturity. Clear and well-structured in the glass.
Mature and expressive. Aromas of blackcurrant, dried cherry, and plum are layered with developed notes of leather, tobacco, forest floor, and cedar. There's a gentle smokiness and a touch of graphite typical of Left Bank terroir.
Medium to full-bodied with smooth, evolved tannins. The palate reflects the nose with ripe dark fruits now mellowed into more savoury, earthy notes. Hints of dried herbs, pencil shavings, and cocoa add complexity. Acidity is well integrated, providing freshness despite the wine's age. The oak influence is subtle and well-resolved.
Elegant, medium-long finish with lingering notes of dried red fruit, spice, and earthy minerality.
Fully mature and drinking at its peak. Enjoy now through 2027, ideally with roasted meats, duck confit, or aged cheeses.
