This is a full-bodied, structured and complex wine.On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries and blackcurrants, along with notes of smoke, spices, and earth. On the palate, the wine is packed with ripe, dark fruit and spice flavors, accented by hints of espresso and tobacco. The finish is long and well-balanced, with a nice touch of freshness. A classic expression of a Saint-Estèphe appellation, this is a well-crafted and enjoyable wine.
