選ばれた果実が編む、格調高い骨格。
丹念に選別したぶどうを伝統的なオーク樽で熟成させた、メドック格付け第2級の2018年。深いルビーレッドに輝き、黒系果実やカシス、ブラックチェリーの香りに、スパイスと微かな杉、上品なオーク香が複雑さを添えます。しっかりとしたタンニンと凝縮した果実味を酸が支え、ブラックベリーやカカオの余韻が長く続きます。赤身肉のステーキや熟成ハードチーズと。数年の熟成でさらに深みを増します。
Tasting note
Its deep ruby red color is brilliant, and swirling the glass reveals aromas of black fruits, cassis, and black cherry. Hints of spice and subtle cedar add complexity, and you can also sense the elegant oak aroma that comes with aging. On the palate, firm tannins and concentrated fruit spread, perfectly balanced with acidity. The finish is long, with nuances of blackberry and cocoa lingering slowly. It can be enjoyed now, but has the potential to gain even more depth and complexity with a few years of aging.
Food pairing
Lean steak, roast lamb, and aged hard cheese
