One of the most concentrated wines of the vintage

The color is among the most saturated blue/purple/black-toned examples from the vintage – almost opaque in the glass. In style, it is often described as a young Château Latour on steroids – massive, structured and uncompromising in its concentration.

The nose explodes with notes of graphite, blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis and smoke. The palate is spectacularly concentrated and hugely structured with perfectly integrated sweetness, ripe tannin and great acidity. Layers upon layers of dark fruit and extract give an almost infinite depth.

Tasting notes

• Aroma: Graphite, blackberry liqueur, crème de cassis and fine smoky nuances.

Aging potential
