Big, bold, brooding red wine night. This Saint Émilion GC has ATTITUDE! Medes another 1-2 yrs.

1 person found it helpfulSep 18th, 2014I've tried multiple vintages from this grand cru producer and this one is a huge standout. Also happens to cost twice as much as the others. They held it back (out I necessity) so it's available now along the the $60ish 07.

Apr 6th, 20142005, truly an extraordinary vintage! I could smell the ripe black cherries and licorice from the other room. First sip, nutmeg and juniper spice ... a nice, well balanced lively acidity.

May 3rd, 2020Damp forest floor and mushrooms on open. A 30 minute decant helped this wine blossom into tart cherry, old leather and a bit of cigar box. Med tannins. Dark chocolate and spice hold thru the velvety finish. Still evolving and great value on an extensive list
