Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 03/03/2024

A seductive wine that stands out for its vibrant aromas, supported by an energetic structure and grainy tannins that unfold a tender, smooth juice with sweet flavors of concentrated black fruits, complemented by spicy and toasted aromas. The finish is savory and fresh, with a slightly masculine character. One of the best RQPs in the Médoc. At its peak, it was enjoyed with Limousine ribeye steaks braised Bordeaux-style, accompanied by porcini mushrooms. Rating = 3.9.
