Thursday, August 28, 2014 - This wine needs some time to come together in the decanter, but when it does its bouquet reveals a pleasing melange of red and blackcurrant, tobacco and soil tones. In many ways this is a typical rustic old-style St. Estephe, with noticeable acidity and simple but transparent flavors. Thanks to the vintage, it remains quite juicy, textural and large-scaled, but the tannins have faded away and its vibrancy is beginning to flag without the promise of all that much more complexity to come.
