Egyptian musk and spices

The length and linear nature of this wine make it outstanding

produced from a vineyard on the other side of the road near to the vines of Leoville Poyferré

dark chocolate and wet stone terroir markers

Need to sit with this

one where the wines are not as extracted as in the past

this wine is always celestial

I especially admire its freshness

orange rind and smoke

soft grilled cedar and sandalwood aromatics

1% Cabernet Franc

Harmonious and yet dynamic and energetic
