Tuesday, February 1, 2022 - Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rim and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of blackcurrant and blackberry, red fruit of dark plum, oak notes of cedar, kernel notes of chocolate, mineral notes of earth, pungent spice of black pepper, maturity notes of tobacco. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and silky texture, medium (+) alcohol and full body, with medium (+) intensity flavours of black fruit of blackcurrant and blackberry, oak notes of cedar, kernel notes of chocolate, animal notes of leather. The wine has a long finish.
Conclusion: Excellent quality St-Estephe with very good intensity on the nose showing very good complexity, with elegant black fruit and oak, rich chocolate and black pepper, and some tobacco maturity aromas. On the palate the wine has great finesse, well-balanced and structured, with ripe and well-integrated tannin, very good concentration in flavours and a long finish. It is ready to drink now but can benefit from further ageing of another 5-7 years.
