Awarded 96 points by Decanter and 95 points by James Suckling, it opens with perfumed aromas of violet, lavender, cassis, dark berries and lead pencil, with subtle mineral and cigar-box nuances. The medium- to full-bodied palate is beautifully layered, balancing concentrated red and dark fruit with fine, creamy tannins, lively freshness and a distinctive salty, wet-stone minerality. Structured, polished and persistent, this is a refined Saint-Estèphe with excellent ageing potential through the 2040s.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9e0039;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(8, 8, 8);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9e0039;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(8, 8, 8); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eDecanter |\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eD 96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9e0039;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Nov 30, 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrink: 2027-2048\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #9e0039;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(8, 8, 8);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThis stands out for its structure, subtle power, balance and finesse.
