I really enjoyed this fully mature Bordeaux from Montagne-Saint Emilion. This wine has a very deep and opaque purple color, with a ruby red colored rim. Upon opening, this bottle was a little closed, but over the next two hours, it's bouquet of violets and dark berries emerged. The wine tastes of blackberries, blueberries, and cedar. It is Old World in character, balanced and medium bodied, with an enjoyable, long ending. It's tannins are well integrated and soft. At $22, this is an excellent value wine.

My wine bargain from St Emilion satellite Montagne. Found this on a recent trip - this is fully mature, and for me in a great place. Nose is refined, delicate but has a lot of complexity with minerals, fruits and a core of freshness. For the price, this is an absolute steal, and just goes to show the value to be had in less fashionable appellations and vintages. Drink now and over the next few years. (Oh, and It sings with food)

Plutôt typé dans l'appellation, assez long mais un peu unidimensionnel et tannique. Pourrait évoluer dans le temps.
