Dusty plum and berry aromas mingle with fine tobacco and dried earth. Medium- to full-bodied, the palate is framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and impressive balance, carrying its fruit and savory complexity into a long, scented finish. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot.

92 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Firm and classically Pauillac, this wine emphasizes black currant fruit and vibrant acidity. Present tannins provide structure behind its bright fruit and crisp texture, while a dry, tightly wound core points toward further development and integration with bottle age. Best from 2025 onward.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

Plum and black currant fruit form the core, framed by singed vanilla and alder. Tobacco and violet nuances add complexity, while a fine-edged chalky structure provides definition and precision through the persistent finish.
