Classic Pauillac aromas of lovely cassis, evergreen forest, and vanilla-cream. The tannins are well integrated with a soft, dusty texture. Great acid/ alcohol balance with medium to full-bodied weight. This wine shows good clay and mineral-granite character along the length of the palate; while being encased in mulberries, roots, violet and loam essence. This wine is absolutely delicious now (Drink Now) and will continue to get better through the next 3 to 5 years. - evaluated 8/3/21, The Winery Staff.
