Appearance: Deep purple-ruby color, almost opaque core with bluish hues – visually promises a concentrated and intense wine.
Aroma: The nose is complex and expressive: intense aromas of dark fruit – black cherries, blackberries, and blueberries – are complemented by notes of chocolate, cocoa, dried herbs, wood, menthol, and refined spices. There is also an earthy minerality and a touch of graphite, which build depth and complexity on the nose.
Taste: On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich, and structured. The fruit profile remains at the forefront, supported by polished tannins, lively acidity, and well-integrated oak. The dark fruit notes transition into spicy and mineral elements, which together build the elegance and depth of flavor characteristic of quality Saint-Émilion Grand Cru.
Finish: The long finish is full and complex, with lingering dark fruit, gentle spice tones, and a subtle mineral note. The wine has excellent aging potential – many critics see it as one of the best of the 2019 vintage in the region – and it will gain additional refinement over time.
