Plum red. Very impressive on first opening. Elegant, comforting nose. Soft red fruits, spice, a touch of cedar as well. Smells serious but yielding. No real “green” character, and a lovely plummy palate with still quite furry tannins. Left open (in the fridge), on day two, a distinct herbal note had appeared and the conclusion the wine was tipping over was inescapable. I wouldn’t be worried about this falling over in the next couple of years but if I had a case I might well start cracking them to make up my own mind, as this certainly drinks well now.

Medium bodied, fresh, easy drinking Right Bank wine with soft textures and ripe fruits for early drinking pleasure. The wine was produced from a blend of 83% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot.

Nice St.Emilion to drink now. Soft Merlot with some cigarbox.
