Serene Power, Refined Pauillac

Pure fruit aromas of cassis and blackberry, with delicate nuances of cedar, graphite, cigar, violet, and spice.
The vibrant acidity and fine tannins, characteristic of the 2016 vintage, beautifully support the rich fruit, creating a classic yet modern perfection.

The palate is powerful yet precise.
While concentrated, it never feels heavy, impressing with the elegant structure typical of Pauillac and a long, lingering finish. The complex flavors that unfold over time exude the grandeur of a great vintage.

A nobility evident even in its youth, and definite potential for long-term aging.
This is a wine that vividly reflects the true essence of Bordeaux's Left Bank.

2016 was one of the historic great vintages on Bordeaux's Left Bank, a year in which the Cabernet Sauvignon achieved particular perfection. The vintage is characterized by an exceptional balance of concentration, acidity, and tannins, possessing the classic Pauillac tension and longevity. At the same time, the fruit purity is high, and the wine is remarkably complete, allowing for sophisticated enjoyment even in its youth.
