Tasting note
Saint-Estèphe Cabernet Sauvignon should release blackcurrant and dark plum alongside cedar and dried herbs. The 2021 Grand Vin is expected to feel firm and focused, its tannins shaping a dense palate while fresh acidity gives lift to the dark fruit. The window begins in 2027; its strongest span is 2029 to 2050, with a horizon of 2058. Expect a long finish of cassis, spice and earthy detail.
