Super soft left bank saint Emilion. Really light graphite notes for some reason. Sounds crazy I know. U. An drink this with seafood It’s literally soft like a burgundy Pinot. Tannins are present but soft as well. Acidity is in a higher gear than the tannins. They did a great job with This wine. Especially the qpr. I would buy again an drink whenever I felt like it. While putting a few away for later.

Very well made but still angular and showing its components — fruit and oak — rather than an integrated whole. Medium bodied. Needs time to develop further.

Nose: Earth, mushroom, cedar, and rustic plum; quite seductive. Palate: Raisin and tart dark plum, cedar, mildly gritty tannins. I guess I'm a bit fickled...this time around the fruit tasted a bit more oxidized; certainly enjoyable now, but redacting my prior comment that this is built for the long haul.

Nose: Plum, blackberry, floral spice, light incense, graham cracker. Palate: Nicely tart dark plum; earthy soil with some mint and bitter oak; thickly polished tannins. Very consistent over two days suggesting a long life ahead and a great value ($16) and good expression of right bank Bordeaux.

Quite too oaky for my liking, a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% CF. Deep ruby colour. Medium+ intensity aroma of vanilla, plums, raspberries, herbs, cherries, earth, new oak. Medium+ body, new oak medium+ flavours with black and red fruit notes, bitter hints, medium acidity, high finely grained tannins, long finish.

Value for the money Saint-Emillion. Lots of sweet fruit, pleasant acidity, and medium tanin. But finish is not sweet. Lacks power and body; but acceptable at this price point. Willing to purchase again.

For a young wine I was impressed with the medium tannins and medium bodied. It tasted as expected for a Saint-Emilion. Will get better with age, a good staple for any cellar, needs a few hours of decanting.

Flowers, licorice, tobacco and sweet cherries are on the nose and palate, where you also find a dash of chocolate in the finish. Soft and silky, this will drink well on release and for at least 12-15 more years. The wine was produced from blending 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.

With licorice, ripe red fruits, smoke and espresso bean on the nose, the wine is forward, soft and fruity with dusty tannins and a red plum note in the medium-bodied finish. The wine was produced from blending 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. 89-91 Pts
