A distinctive floral perfume leads into a direct, finely shaped palate. Silky texture gives the red fruit a graceful flow, while a subtle extra depth develops through the middle. The finish is notably long and detailed, with a flicker of complexity that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. Elegant now, with the poise to reward careful cellaring.

An understated Right Bank Bordeaux with pure red cherry and violet aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and composed, with crisp acidity giving the fruit freshness and fine, chewy tannins adding shape through the finish. Refined rather than showy, it benefits from a little air and pairs neatly with roast lamb, duck, mushrooms or firm cheese.
