Right Bank Red Bordeaux, from a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, I noticed fresh black fruit aromas, with complex spice. The palate shows off the fruit very nicely with concentrated ripe flavors of black raspberry, plum and cherries, a slight licorice tang and some wet stone. This blend also shows tender oak and mineral nuances providing great structure and balance. The finish was smooth and rich with layers that lingered. Will age nicely over next decade.

Very approachable St E. Dark cherry, licorice and barnyard. Medium body. Drinking nicely.

A tad hot up front but smooths out mid-palette, finishes even and subtle. Drank with some Comte, which enhanced the earthy/mineral qualities

100% Merlot in 2009. Hedonistic yet refined. Still, needs at least 5 more years to balance out the abundant ripeness.
