Wine Advocate-5th Growth, Pauillac, Bordeaux, France- Offers classic notes of creme de cassis, graphite, subtle smoke and spring flowers. Multidimensional with massive concentration as well as vivid purity, precision and freshness. (Concentrated, Spice, Oak, Full-bodied)
A nose in which violet and red fruit predominate over distinguished woodiness. The full attack is followed by a very fleshy structure with plenty of volume and breeding. The high quality tannins reveal no trace of roughness. Impressive length. Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot
