In the same vein as the nose the big-bodied flavors are denser and more powerful as the dry extract really imparts a textured palate impression on the sappy and velvety finale

The wine is full-bodied and dense with moderately high tannin

remarkable equilibrium and noticeable

giving the wine all the weight and massiveness of its two younger siblings

balanced and moderately austere finale

but with some Cabernet Franc (rarely seen in the Médoc these years) as well as Merlot and Petit Verdot

The still very firm and backward middle weight plus flavors possess both excellent mid-palate density and plenty of minerality that carries over to the hugely long finish that is impeccably well-balanced

A discreet touch of wood frames the impressively complex plum

brawny wine revealing the tell-tale peppery

precise and driving medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a moderately austere and gorgeously sustained finale

It exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue in addition to abundant aromas of smoky oak
