Not the most celebrated vintage but this shows what a good wine from an optimal terroir can exhibit nevertheless. Typical, aged Medoc nose of cassis and tilled earth, but a body that showed a stony, petrichor drive that I associate with St Estephe. After a while some dried rose and lavender, allied to beef broth and Korean plum tea. Beautifully managed tannins, that conclude to a long, intricate finish.
