Description

A profound deep ruby in the glass, brimming with aromas of ripe damson and forest fruits. The fine, plentiful tannins are easily matched by the powerful palate of juicy black cherry, cedarwood and plum. The mouthfeel is soft and velvety, but there’s a freshness that brings balance to the finish. Given the quality of the vintage, this is likely to drink well until 2028, developing more sweet spice and cigar box-complexity as it matures. A delicious St Emilion that hits all the right notes.
