Sweet earthy nose with black fruit, tobacco, pencil lead. Mature velvety taste, tarty black and red fruit, plums, round tannins, medium finish. Very good, traditional Bordeaux.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Red fruit nose, taste with red fruit and some black fruit, not a blockbuster but reserved classy taste, medium bodied, lovely almost a bit Burgundy like, nice soft mouthfeel. You empty this bottle in no time. Only drawback are the tannins that are round but appear a bit harsh at the end.
Dark fruit nose, a bit new wordly. Sweet taste, full bodied, blackcurrant, a bit oaky, round, soft tannins, more modern style of Bordeaux. Needs some more years in cellar. Very good.
Nose still a bit tight, red fruit, some graphite. Taste very intense, cassis, peppery, full bodied but very straight and spicy, linear, beautifull detailed. Very complex. Best wine of the evening.
