Description
Dark, inky purple, the nose is reserved with notes of brambles and blackcurrant. It has a lovely masculine structure. On the palate, it is rich but very nicely balanced and a lovely cassis note shines through. It finishes with a fruit-driven, iron-like grip. It still feels very fresh.

About this wine
Saint-Estèphe
Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
