Notes:

This iconic wine is  offered at a bargain price, especially considering that it is a grand cru and a rather old vintage!

The nose is fantastic, leather, some tobacco notes, black and red berries and a hint of blue flowers.

On the palate is velvety, still with plenty of fruit and good complexity, plus a decent length.

Good pair with charcuterie, medium cheeses, beef dishes and grilled chicken.
