Occasional wine note

Want an affordable Bordeaux that delivers? Bam! This one's big and brings layers of flavor and aromas - ripe dark fruits, tobacco, baking spices, and present but not overpowering tannin. For best results, decant for at least an hour or hold on to this gem for another 5 years or so.

What experts say about this wine

Wine Enthusiast

This wine is dense, classic for Saint-Estèphe. Bold black fruits and dark hues are set to give a wine that will take its time. Tannins are surrounded by berry fruits and richness.

Decanter

Needs time to open. Marvellous mineral aspects and salinity with superior tannic grain. Time in glass reveals cigar box from the Cabernet, plus high-toned raspberry, ripe plum and cedar. Cellar at least three years before enjoying. Potential for a higher score later.
