Deep garnet-purple in colour, fleshy-spicy nose, firm medium-bodied mouth.
This is a genuine explosion of berry flavours (cherry, black currant). Boasting good concentration, it offers a rich and round palate with coated tannins.
The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin in the mouth, a keen line of acidity, fine precision here with a mineral-rich finish that exudes terroir expression.
Simply magnificent. The wine is rich, with incredible intensity and tannic structure. The finish is long and makes you want to go back for more!
Elegant, red and black berries, caramel; with entrecôte.
Attractive, spicy, earthy St.-Julien with hints of tapenade, black cherries, and soil undertones. Seductive, round, lush style. Excellent, medium-bodied, to be savored for 10-15 years.
A very well-balanced vintage, straightforward without being austere.
Fabulous berry-fruit aromas, licorice, leather, great structure; pairs well with goose and duck breast.
Beautiful intense dark color. Fruity, lively nose. The wine is fruity, tasty and scented with fine tannins. Very enjoyable.
