Tasting Notes (Classic Vintage)
- Color: Deep, intense purple.
- Nose: Profound and seductive, featuring dominant notes of ripe black fruits (blackberry, cassis), black truffle, and a distinctive floral hint of violet. Subtle hints of cocoa and cigar box emerge as it breathes.
- Palate: The entry is silky, leading to a velvety, dense mid-palate. The tannins are exquisitely fine, providing a robust structure that carries through to a long, persistent finish marked by sweet spices and earthy minerality.

This exceptional investment-grade wine demands equally refined culinary partners.
- Serving Temperature: 61°F – 64°F.
- Sommelier Tip: We strongly recommend decanting younger vintages for 1-2 hours to allow the aromatic complexity to fully unfold.
