A powerful, elegant Pauillac showing dark garnet color with aromas of black fruit, plums, berries, wood smoke, spice, and licorice, lifted by a touch of raspberry liqueur on the palate. Reviewers note present but agreeable tannins, balanced oak, good acidic structure, and earthy-mineral notes with impressive length.

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Very intense colour. Very intense nose, marked by notes of cherry, blackberry and redcurrant with traces of vanilla, liquorice and cedar. The attack is full to the palate. The tannins of great smoothness reveal a fine elegance. The finish, with no trace of aggressiveness, is marked by a good length.
