Very ripe and pure, with beautiful, caressing cassis and succulent plum flavors gliding over well-embedded structure. The long, iron-tinged finish is youthfully pure and very refined.-J.M.

[47CS/41M/12CF] Freshly ripe blackberry fruit to smell; well balanced in a crisp style, moderate concentration and fine, firm tannin; freshly ripe fruit flavour, gravel scented, taut and linear and finishing above all with the red fruit impression of acidity; but matter too, not just bone and sinew. 2017-25 [M.Schuster, Bordeaux Mar/Apr 2012]
