9.2

100 point disappointment...tastes like Bordeaux...clearly very well made but with the new oak was toned down a lot! — 13 days ago

9.0

Aromas of cherry, raspberry, and subtle earthy notes lead to a palate marked by vibrant acidity, fine tannins, and a touch of minerality. Medium-bodied.
Driving nicely at year 10 but don’t think it will improve with further cellar time. — 3 months ago

This is surprisingly good for a bargain-priced St. Emmie. Nose shows clear, ripe plummy Merlot fruit, some clay-inflected earth, some underbrush, and subtle, pleasant vegetal note. Very nice balance and mouthfeel. Not a bruiser, but more on the elegant side. Fruit, tannin, acids all nicely dancing together. I like this a lot! — 6 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, I have always had a soft spot for St. Emilion, my favorite of all the Bordeaux communes (well, at least taking pricing into account)!!
