Description
This sits in the glass with a dark, inky colour. It has intense, ripe aromas of liquorice and pepper. Dense and creamy on the palate, the mouth is coated with flavours of blackberry and bilberry with fine tannins and spicy oak. The finish is dense with notes of dark chocolate.

Pauillac
The aristocrat of the Médoc boasts 75 percent of the region’s First Growths, with Grand Cru Classés representing 84 percent of production. Pauillac's First Growths each have their own unique characteristics: Ch. Lafite Rothschild produces the region’s most aromatically-complex and subtly-flavoured wine, while – with its high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon – Ch. Mouton Rothschild can produce a decadently rich, fleshy and exotic wine.
