Review by Mr. Gilles D. Published on March 3, 2024
An alluring wine distinguished by its vibrant aromatic profile, supported by a lively structure and grainy tannins that give way to a soft, velvety palate with concentrated, sweet flavors of black fruit, complemented by spicy and toasty notes. The finish, savory and fresh, is slightly robust. One of the best RQPs in the Médoc. At its peak, it was enjoyed with Limousine ribeye steaks braised Bordelaise-style, served with porcini mushrooms. Score = 3.9.
