A 24-acre vineyard close to Saint-Estèphe has produced this rich and dense wine. Tannins give a solid base to generous black plum and berry fruits. Initially, it seems as though this wine will develop quickly, but that is deceptive. With the tannic core and firm aftertaste, the wine will take its time. Drink from 2024. —R.V.
What We Thought: Very robust and full-bodied, this wine is filled with blackberry, black raspberry, and plum fruit, along with big notes of licorice and bitter dark chocolate supported by some firm, lightly dusty tannins that make it a great cellar candidate.
