A deep garnet color with magnificent purple highlights. The nose is intense and full, revealing notes of ripe black fruits and subtle hints of vanilla and roasted coffee. Great structure with finesse and tannic density that brings depth and length to the mouth. The aromatic purity of the perfectly ripened grape varieties is magnified by the complex and subtle oak flavors.

"A rich, opulent wine, this is full of dark tannins and powerful fruit. It's a big wine, with licorice and dense wood flavors that give a smoky character and reflect some serious extraction. The wine needs to smooth out to showcase its concentrated richness. Drink from 2024. - Roger VOSS"

A hidden little gem, the 2018 Château Bourdieu Absolu has impressive ripe black cherry and tobacco notes as well as medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, seamless texture, some firm tannins, and a great finish. This cuvée is normally a fruit bomb, but it shows more elegance and purity in 2018. It's ideal for enjoying over the coming decade.
