The nose is complex and intense with ripe black fruit. After a sharp attack, the mouth opens with lot of roundness and flexibility on a range of flavors - it is first fruity then develops with a nice complexity with notes of leather, licorice, and smoke, with a beautiful wooded note. Well balanced with elegant tannins. A wine of great dimensions, both charming and elegant. A beautiful wine of Pessac-Leognan.

This is stylish, with mulled plum and raspberry fruit leading to singed mesquite and sanguine notes. A pretty tug of earth keeps the finish grounded. Drink now through 2020. 3,750 cases made.
