Saint-Emilion - Premier Grand Cru Classé B
94/100 James Suckling
A beautiful reduction on the palate, revealing an ashy note of red fruits, crushed stones, subtle cream, hibiscus, and black fruits. The palate is medium to full-bodied, revealing fine and abundant tannins. Fresh, lively, and more vertically structured than many of its peers from this vintage, it nevertheless remains polished and textured. A lingering finish. Drink from 2024.
