Tasting Notes

A superb wine, this opaque purple-colored effort boasts a vividly pure nose of graphite, melted licorice, creme de cassis, espresso, and wet stones backed up by subtle, high quality, spicy, new oak. Multi-layered, full-bodied, dense, concentrated, and pure, with sweet tannin and superb length, this future classic will be at its best between 2008-2019.

Deep crimson, healthy look. Full-blown, rather appealing nose. Savoury and intriguing. Some sweetness, almost North Rhôneish in its sweetness-and-black-pepper appeal. Interesting. A good drink if not the most typical St-Emilion. Tannins still there. Slightly cool. Drink: 2007-2020.
