"Un nez époustouflant, expressif et plein d'assurance, aux arômes corsés de tabac. Une puissance qui se confirme avec une bouche limpide et langoureuse de fruits mûrs, de chocolat noir, se distinguant avant tout par cette texture dans laquelle on voudrait se perdre, et cette finale vivante, complexe, doucement salée…"

Aroma
The bouquet reveals notes of cassis, violet, mocha, vanilla, spices and licorice.

Taste
The wines of Saint-Estèphe have strong tannins and thus reach their maturity more slowly than most other medals. They offer black fruits, a note of freshness, often a woody or smoky aspect and a floral touch.
