Wednesday, December 28, 2022 - Opened the night before tasting.
The wine is deep ruby coloured, with still purple hints, has a good viscosity and quite slow legs. The nose is fresh, elegant, almost "left bank" due to the little percentage of Cab. Sauvignon in the blend, that is pretty evident.
Cassis purée, blackberries, elderberries, bay leaf, scorched earth, humus, espresso, hibiscus, graphite, chocolate sauce, gingerbread, dried mushrooms..
Great acidity, racy attack, medium bodied and classical great St. Emilion minerality. The moutfeel is packed with black fruits, chocolate, tobacco, with a minty freshness throughout. Good lenght, silky present tannins.
This wine is very delicate and smooth right now, after a good amount of air. I believe this needs 3 to 5 more years tu fully bloom.
It will be a pleasurable wine for at least 10 years from now on given its structure.
Classic and beautiful St. Emilion to drink now or hold a few more.
