Tasting Notes: A concentrated, medium- to full-bodied Médoc with cassis, blackberry, black cherry and warm spice, layered with chocolate-box, tobacco, graphite and subtle herbal notes. Fresh acidity and ripe, grainy tannins give the wine structure and length, while a composed, savory finish shows the classic character of the 2016 vintage.
Food Pairing: Grilled rib-eye steak; roast leg of lamb with rosemary; venison with juniper and berry reduction
Critic Rating: WA/RP 91; NM 92
