Description
Grand vin de Bordeaux
Appearance
Medium ruby with a garnet edge, showing gentle signs of age while retaining vibrancy.
Nose
Mature and inviting, with aromas of dried plum, black cherry, cassis, cedar, forest floor, and subtle hints of leather and spice.
Palate
Medium-bodied, with smooth, integrated tannins. Flavors of red and black fruits are layered with earthy, tobacco, and mushroom nuances, balanced by lively acidity.
Finish
Long, refined, and slightly savory, with lingering notes of dried fruit, cedar, and a soft mineral edge.
Overall Impression
A gracefully mature right-bank Bordeaux, elegant and approachable, perfect for drinking now alongside roast duck, mushroom risotto, or a charcuterie platter.
Condition
Excellent
