"Fresh redcurrant and blackcurrant leaf on the nose. Oyster shell and forest floor too. Medium-bodied with firm, elegant tannins. Notes of bitter chocolate and meat on an austere finish. [...] Wait until 2023 for the wine to soften and come together." (James Suckling 2021). An exceptional vintage for this Médoc Cru Bourgeois imbued with gourmandise and conviviality!
