Easy and breezy, not overly complex but nicely balanced and a solid effort

Perfect with the salt crusted tenderloin. Berries and nice finish.

V09. Nice. Smoked Bacon and cedar nose. Fresh blackberry fruit. Smooth, dry, slightly tight finish. Very good.

Scents of bayleaf and blackberry. Black fruit, cigar box. Firm tannins that have softened with age

Mixed views. Initially, wasn’t great. W some air, it grew on me. But only a little bit. I have to admit, I’m not sure what it’s missing. A bit tight. Fruit is faint. After a day, less impressed. Maybe too young?

First Saint Emilion Grand-Cru 2009, nice balance showing signs of 8 years age on a merlot dominated blend and using the Cabernet to bring it through
