Terroir of St Emilion (Roberson Wine, South Ken, London): Light restrained on the nose. Roundish on the palate but still quite tannic. Alive and Kicking. Enjoyable but not memorable in any way . On the way down too so start to drink this. 89

No detailed notes. Opened, and originally this came across as a bit muddy/gamey to me, which it seems I often get from younger St. Emilion wines. Surprisingly, I pulled the remaining half a bottle from the fridge days later, and on Day 5 this is performing better than when it was opened. Brighter, more obvious cherry/fruit notes, more complexity and balance all the way around, with a distinctive brightness that wasn't present at the pop. If I had more of these, I probably wouldn't be in a rush to drink them (WA "drink by" of 2012 notwithstanding).

Taste at Elysian. Open for two hours. Very nice dark red cherries, leather, cigar box and tobacco. Palate is less impressive but more subtle. Nice acidity and medium bodied. Good.

DRC Tasting Group: Bordeaux Night (Seattle, WA): Tasted blind. Spice, raisin, dust, black cherry, and cinnamon. Lush and fruit-forward, with higher acidity but still nicely balanced.
