Tasting note
This vintage presents an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, it is very tempting, powerful with blackcurrant aromas, notes of cherry jam, black fruits raised of liquorice and spices, the all combined with the freshness of the ripe grapes. In the mouth, we discover a wine with a race shape with strong notes of spices and black fruits and with a very long length. The wine is perfectly ripe with full-bodied tannins but voluptuous and with a great balance. This wine offers the beautiful expression of the terroir of this very typical Pauillac wine.
