A high-toned nose is also airy and pure with its mostly red berry fruit nose that reflects plenty of floral influence

delicious and relatively forward flavors that possess a succulent mouthfeel where the richness is offset by an agreeably dry and persistent saline-inflected finish

Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London

There is ample structure here as well though it’s largely buffered by all of the mid-palate extract and I particularly like the depth

This possesses the most complex nose in the range with its plethora of spice

Nice herbal and earth notes with rocky minerality across the full length of the palate. The open fruit expression of the nose creates the expectation of a bigger wine to follow but it is classical with good restraint and an impressive sense of precision in the mouth. Beautifully done.
