No notes. True to type Saint Emillon. Herbal earthy, chalky dry tannins.

Nice, rich, enticing aroma of blackberries & fresh black plumsc with spicy cedar and a fresh whiff of lavender. Ther’s a tiny hint of freshly cracked black pepper and allspice. Warm & rich yet nicely fresh & juicy.
On the palate this is medium bodied with beautiful, velvety, plush, juicy tannins. So finely polished. Nicely balanced with the acidity still fresh and while the fruit is slowly starting to show some age, it’s still juicy - I like the savoury, earthy side. Good depth and length, too.
This has to be peaking right now and is drinking very nicely.

Just gorgeous. Decanting made it soft as velvet, with black fruits, berries, and a hint of tobacco in balance. I'll be picking up another few bottles.

A youngster whose fruit is still integrating with its oak treatment. It did improve on day2.

Solidly good Bordeaux blend - full bodied, mature red fruit notes with a slight hint of smokiness- great finish.
