Decanter: 94 Punkte
Dark fruit and perfumed aromas on the nose, smells deep and floral. Textured and forward, this has an almost plush feeling on the palate - both juicy and fleshy fruit gives a feeling of depth and layering while the bright acidity and clear mint, espresso, liquorice and wet stones give accents and increase the interest. It's not one of the fullest or longest, but it's sleek and really well worked where nothing feels overdone. Textbook Pauillac. - Georgina Hindle (01/2025)
