Description
There is quite a lot of initial tannic grip and the palate will fill out with time in barrel. Beneath it all, there is a positive sense of breeding and thus a lot of promise. As the grand vin shows, this vintage's dual aspects of generosity and power suit the Cazes style well. Very nice notes of black fruit and tobacco. Drink 2024-2035.

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.
