This iconic Bordeaux red blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot to create a full-bodied, complex, and balanced wine.On the nose, there are aromas of dark berries, cassis, and cedar, with notes of cigar box, tobacco, and spice. The palate is lush, with flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, and black currant, as well as hints of cocoa, espresso, and graphite. The tannins are firm but silky, and the finish is long and lingering, with lingering notes of tobacco and spice. A classic Bordeaux, this is a magnificent expression of Pauillac and a wine to savor.
