One of the vineyards away from the Gironde estuary has produced a richly structured wine. It has dense tannins and layers of black fruits and structure. Blackberry and black coffee aromas and juicy black fruits give a wine that has space to develop. Drink from 2028.

Good depth on the nose, showing blackcurrants, graphite and a touch of fresh herbs and flowers. This shows obvious potential with its tight-grained tannins providing a muscular but complete structure to the full-bodied palate. Still, quite lively and al dente. Tightly wound, long and youthful in the finish. 72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot. Drink from 2026. This would hold very well in the next eight to ten years.

This is excellent, can't remember a more enjoyable Arsac. The quality of the tannins is extremely impressive, and this is one to sink into, a ton of rich brambled fruits, touch of austerity on the finish, good guts and bone structure, cocoa bean, rose petals, sage, has Margaux personality, along with savoury Cabernet cool blue fruits. Eric Boissenot consultant. 55% new oak for ageing.
