Firmly structured and well-concentrated, this impressive wine needs time to mellow and gain more complexity. A tight core of black cherries and black currants is wrapped in firm tannins and dressed with subtle oak spices. Best from 2027–2037.

Iodine and lead pencil with some currant. Flowers, too. Aromatic. Medium body. Creamy texture and a delicious finish. Juicy and fresh. Fine. Drink now.

Tight malic acidity courses through this blend of five Bordeaux varieties, corralling the wine’s richness. The fruit is red, supple and airy, while a velvety texture contrasts with grippy tannins, needing a year in the cellar to integrate.
