The full-bodied palate delivers concentrated dark fruit, refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish accented by pepper and savory spice. Structured yet beautifully balanced, this highly rated Pauillac offers outstanding value and the pedigree to evolve gracefully for decades.
