Tasting notes

Deep red colour, slightly purplish hues. Typical Bordeuax-nose with hints of cedar, oak, tobacco. Some fine floral hints with air. Medium bodied in the mouth. Quite soft Pauillac with medium concentration of fruit. A little apparent oak, but fine and evolved. Tobaccoish, fine florality. Better with an hour of air as the oak integrates better. Decent structure with not much tannins in the finish. Drinks fairly now and will for the next 5-10 years. Probably not a long-ager. Fine petit-Bordeaux, but a little too expensive for the quality.
