A lovely Left Bank, Cabernet-based, red with the polish and freshness of this great vintage. As Wine Spectator says in the 96 point rave, "The core of this red is loaded with pure plum, blueberry and black currant fruit flavors. The polished structure is integrated, with alluring ganache, anise and sweet tobacco notes throughout, all in a polished and balanced frame. A very classy red that isn't shy about its power but pushes its purity to the fore. Best from 2024 through 2039."
For You If: You're looking for rich and elegant Left Bank Bordeaux that's drinking beautifully now and can develop for another decade-plus.
Not For You If: You're after the kind of power and thickness you'd get from Napa Cab - this has plenty of power, but leans more to the elegant/pure side of things.

"The estate, at the southern end of Saint-Julien, has produced a wine that is both structured and stylish. This bold, ripe wine shows opulent black fruits and generous tannins. Juicy and structured, it has good aging potential."
