Critic tasting note: (2016 vintage) "Medium-bodied, fresh, lifted, and fully developed, the wine is loaded with sweet, ripe, fresh dark currants with a touch of chocolate, cigar wrapper, and spice, leaving you with a solid, round, long, fruit-filled finish. This is a true steal in the marketplace. If you are seeking a mature Left Bank Bordeaux that won't break the bank, this is it. Drink from 2023-2031." - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

Harvest & Vinification:

Fermentation occurred at 27–28°C with gentle punching down. The vatting lasted 3–4 weeks to ensure optimal extraction and balance.
Ageing:
Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (one-third new), followed by appropriate fining before bottling on June 5th, 2018.
Tasting Profile:
Elegant and classic Haut-Médoc style showing ripe blackcurrant and plum with touches of violet, cedar, and graphite. Medium-bodied and refined with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Balanced structure with depth and length—an impressive example of Left Bank finesse.
