An exceptional density combines with a deep garnet color adorned with beautiful purple highlights. An intense and full nose conveys notes of mature blackberries and subtle vanilla interlaced with coffee roasting soupçons.
A beautiful structure, full in subtlety where the tannic density offers depth and length.
The aromatic purity of each grape varieties absolutely matured is enhanced by the complex and elegant woody flavor impeccably controlled.

"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.
