TASTING NOTES
Flamboyant nose featuring dark berry fruit (cassis, blackberry), Cuban cigar box, crushed graphite, incense, embers, and dried lavender. Medium-to-full-bodied with immense depth and elegance without feeling heavy. Silky, polished tannins accompanied by signature Pessac-Léognan smoky minerality and an extraordinarily long finish.
