Structured and elegant right-bank Bordeaux that's one of the most reasonably-priced premium Saint-Emilion reds; the wine features a deep red-purple color, lively nose of blackcurrants, smoky wood and spices and rich flavors of ripe dark berries, black cherries and oak and a long smooth finish with subtle oak aftertaste; in 1997, investor and wine lover Peter Kwok purchased this property for his daughter Elaine Kwok; the new ownership's investment and attention to quality have resulted in ever improving wines.
Allow 45+ minutes for breathing and serve at 18℃; match with Prime steaks, lamb chops and meat roasts or Shanghai and Beijing meat dishes.
18 months in 100% new French oak.
Approachable now but will continue to develop over the next 5 - 7 years and can be cellared for 10+ years.
