Robe soutenue d'un rouge jeune. Le nez associe des notes de fruits noirs et de bois. La bouche est bâtie sur la souplesse et la fraîcheur, un vin plein, harmonieux, doté d'un fruit persistant. Un millésime réussi, généreux, à s'offrir.

Robe très sombre au reflet jeune. Nez concentré de cassis mûr.
En bouche, un vrai vin de garde, puissant, tannique, mais aussi ample et harmonieux.
Un Médoc de caractère, à la construction traditionnelle. A oublier pour l'instant.
Note : 86/100

|
Dark and brilliant robe. Rich aromatic expression (Black fruits, ripe).
In mouth, this wine is rich, powerful with a nice tannic structure and a good potential for ageing.
This wine is fleshy, intense and balanced.
