Description

Wine Spectator Review
Rated 92
Focused, with a still-juicy edge to the mix of black currant and black cherry compote flavors, which are giving way steadily to mouthwatering tobacco and iron notes and refined singed cedar threads through the finish. Textbook Pauillac. Drink now through 2025. (Blind '01/'03/'05 Bordeaux retrospective December 2017).

Wine Tasting Notes
Intense ruby color. A complex nose of red and dark berries well balanced with notes of vanilla and liquorice. After a full "attack", the tannins have considerable finesse showing the greatness of the terroir. On the palate this wine is characterised by a vibrant structure and full, long finish. The aromas in the mouth confirm the aromatic potential of this wine. A wine for the long term.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
