The colour presents intense glints of bright red and has not significantly evolved. The nose is powerful, expressive and intense. It offers notes of mocha and cocoa, and also very complex aromas of young wine and fresh ripe fruit. The wood is well integrated and does not overpower the fruit, which develops powerful, characterful notes of cooked plums, candied strawberries and cherry brandy. The nose presents a very pure expression, of unusual intensity. The palate is extremely sleek and voluptuous. Notes of wild strawberries, cooked strawberries and fresh cherries blend harmoniously. There is a perfect, intense balance. The structure is complex, dominated by a sensation of full-bodiedness and very ripe fruit. Overall, this is a voluptuous, very long wine that has yet to reach its peak. Consisting of 34% Merlot, 34% Cabernet Sauvignon and 32% Cabernet Franc, this is one of the property's greatest vintages that promises to continue for another 25 to 30 years.
