Notes of cassis and blackberries with hints of spices, dark chocolate, cedar and leafy herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with ripe and velvety tannins. It has lots of energy and vibrancy to the dark-fruited palate. It’s both structured and juicy. Really well made.
One of the rare estates in Pauillac that is not a classed growth, the wine is solid, still young. Its black-currant fruits and tannins are coming together along with the rich spice of wood aging. The wine is set for some serious aging. Drink from 2026.
Plenty of grip, you are taken straight into Pauillac in the first few beats of this wine, with its cassis and bilberry fruits, hawthorn and eucalyptus juice and spice, and the powerful tannins that are the mark of the vintage up here. These are concentrated fruits, but overall there is also a sense of uplift and forward motion. Great stuff.
Soft-edged, though there's a buried iron note just underneath a wave of lovely cassis, plum sauce and black cherry reduction. This also shows sweet tobacco and chestnut accents along the way. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
