This is a ripe and complex left-bank Bordeaux, just perfectly matured. It’s bursting with flavor of baked apple, vanilla pod, butter and caramel, royally structured with a sheer never-ending finish. Honey and smoke begin to appear on the palate. The fruit is incredibly fresh, even if quite ripe, and the acidity is so refreshing. Super long finish with lemon and some ripe peach appearing.

Grand and evocative with an attractive complexity. The glass uncovers a bright golden core with a lively rim. Aromas are led by sun-kissed Amalfi lemon peel with layers of honeysuckle and mandarin blossom wrapped in citron, a hint of hazelnut, and spice. The mouthfeel is generous and multidimensional, showing layers of beeswax and chalky limestone with an uplifting acidity and a long finish. A wonderful wine that while clearly young shows incredible promise. Rich, elegant and complex, with good intensity, balance and length. Peach, Meyer lemon, slate, cream, honeysuckle and a hint of chamomile.

Deep red ruby robe. The nose already reveals concentrated aromas of red berries, and fruits confits, with touches of oaks. When drinking, the concentration explodes in mouth, fruits are accompanied with a rich terroir, soon followed by pepper, spices. Tannins are still strong, revealing a time too early to drink. --Jean-Marie Charollais
