Explosive bouquet of raspberry jam, cassis, potpourri, oak spice and sandalwood. Quite resolved structurally, maybe slightly thin on the palate but very nice bottle

This tastes like a blend in a good way, offering both tangy sweet red and brooding darker fruit tones, chocolate, tea, olive and underbrush. A very complete Merlot-dominant bdx blend

Beautiful classically styled Bdx blend, in a great place with some nice secondary stuff seeping in. Nose has black cherry, cassis, wet leaves, tea; tannins are smooth, palate has sweet red and black fruit with earthy and floral elements on the back
