The 2018 vintage, warm and generous, produced wines of great richness while preserving balance and structure, perfectly highlighting the estate’s classic and noble style.

Tasting Notes

Nose:
Deep and elegant aromas of blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum, enhanced by notes of cedar, graphite, violet, and subtle hints of spice and tobacco.

Palate & Finish:
The palate is powerful yet refined, with a dense, velvety texture supported by fine-grained, perfectly integrated tannins. The wine shows impressive depth and freshness, with a harmonious balance between richness and precision. The long, elegant finish lingers on dark fruit, spice, and a distinctive mineral touch. A great Bordeaux built for long ageing, combining strength, elegance, and emotion.
