James Suckling
“The wine that beat the legendary Petrus in London in 2004 during a memorable blind tasting of the 1999 vintage!”
Crafted from a carefully selected blend of Merlot and Petit Verdot, this exceptional cuvée undergoes an exceptionally long aging process to achieve its full potential. The 2020 vintage, one of the most accomplished of the decade, captivates with its rare intensity, elegant tannins, and majestic, lingering finish, worthy of the greatest wines. Decant several hours before serving or cellar for a few years.

Eye
A deep black color with intense highlights.
Nose
Rare depth, with notes of fresh plum and blackberry, along with hints of mocha and black tea
Palate
Straightforward, precise, and powerful, yet well-rounded. The wine is dense, full-bodied, and balanced, with a velvety, tightly structured tannic framework. A rich finish and exceptional length suggest that this wine will blossom into a truly great wine after a few years of aging.
