Coffee beans, tobacco and smoked blackcurrant aromas on the nose. This is characterful and just so full of flavour and texture - rich in both fruit, acidity and minerality with a delicious metallic and iron rich undertone that gives it real nuance - terroir markers of the alluvial soil from its location at the edge of the Margaux appellation. Bold yet also quite direct, it's not plush or massy or particularly expansive - the tannins are fine and well integrated but this is direct and focussed suggesting more life to go. Feels well worked with a sense of restraint and purpose. Blend of 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 14 months in concrete tanks.
