This Bordeaux Grand Cru showcases the epitome of balance and complexity. Notes of black currant, dark cherry, and plum are well-supported by undertones of graphite, leather, and hints of herbal notes. Tannins are fine-grained and elevate the lengthy finish. Ideal for special occasions, this wine pairs wonderfully with traditional French cuisine.
