An example of an 1855 historic mistake in classification that “relegated” this to a Deuxième Cru level, one which was corrected in 1973 (one of the few cases that classification was rectified) lifting it rightfully to a Premiers Cru Classée.
The color is unreal, a bold red with only a few garnet notes on the edge. The aroma has an incredible structure still focused on wild berries, even if in jam form (blueberry and blackberry), along with an evident balsamic notes and those of Arabian coffee and dark cacao in the background. The mouthfeel has an incredible perfection, very balanced with velvety tannins and a texture that is a silk drape.
