Owner's words
Deep rubis colour, the nose reveals red fruits aromas with a hint of spicyness thanks to the Petit Verdot. Juicy, 2021 has a nice tannic structure with a well-controlled acidity which brings harmony to the blend. A very nice Cabernet Sauvignon expressing itself on the quality of a true Margaux texture.
