The estate’s three parcels have given a rich wine, concentrated and dense while also having layers of dark fruits.

Raw cocoa, too. It’s full-bodied with firm, ultra fine tannins. Structured with excellent intensity and focus. Very polished.

Long, dark, smoldering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

TASTING NOTES: This wine excels with bold and up-front aromas and flavors of black fruit and oak. Enjoy it with a thick slice of prime rib.

There are black fruits here, and tannins, giving Pauillac character. Not letting a lot of light out right now - demands patience.
