Intense purple colour with violet hue and black core. Expressive nose with pure fruit, ripe blackberries, hints of blackcurrants, elderberries in the background as well as ripe damson. Very floral elements, mild spices and vanilla, discreet toasting, subtle oak. On the palate elegant and expressive, rather full-bodied with ripe tannins, freshness, fine minerality, elegant floral and spiciness. A great wine with tension and depth, excellent structure, remaining on the very elegant side of Margaux.
