Nose of cassis, dark chocolate, vanilla, cedar.

On the palate, smooth tannins - almost resembling an Argentinian Malbec. Lots of savoury jam red fruits. Rich and easy-drinking, with a touch of elegance.

A fine example of a Bordeaux that's drinking well upon release, and will drink equally well a few years from now. (But not too long.)
