This Bordeaux-style blend is a study in restraint and structural finesse. It leads with a savory, high-toned bouquet of dried tarragon, blackberry, and river stone, accented by floral notes of violet. On the palate, the wine is broad-shouldered yet remarkably refined, featuring firm, grainy tannins and a vibrant acidity typical of the site's wind-blown loess soils. Notes of black cherry, graphite, and cedar culminate in a long, elegant finish that prioritizes balance over raw power.
