Sommelier’s Notes

The wine presents a deep garnet hue. The bouquet is complex and evolving, offering layers of ripe blackcurrant, subtle violet, pencil lead, and a classic hint of cedarwood and cigar box. The palate is structured and full, yet defined by incredibly polished, velvety tannins. The persistent finish speaks of both pedigree and longevity, securing its place among the stars of Margaux.
