More about the tastingDark ruby red. Concentrated dark fruit on the nose, subtle cocoa notes, some coffee, but only very delicate. Fine spice and minerality. Balanced on the palate, quite soft, but also juicy and dark fruity, mocha on the finish, beautiful tannin structure. This wine is also very typical of the Pauillac appellation.
