Concentrated, highly aromatic and flavorful delivering mouth coating blackberry, plum and licorice. Medium acidity, medium to full bodied and well integrated tannins. Ripe but not overly done. Good QPR. NI:4, FI:22, FC:8, B:3, L:3

Leider keine Notizen gemacht. Was ich sagen kann - oder woran ich mich noch erinnere ist, dass er ein intensives Bouquet hatte. Im Gaumen ein modern gemachter Bordeaux, gehaltvoll, süsslich, ausgewogen, lecker, sich in einer fruchtigen Phase befindend und schon Spass macht. Ich bin gespannt wie der sich noch entwickelt. Im Moment hat er recht Power und ist einnehmend. Keine Angst, kein 99 Punkte-Maroni-Wein, sondern fein und nicht klebrig. Aber ich bin überzeugt, dass Maroni seine Freude an diesem Wein hätte. Und Bordeaux-typisch eher teuer in der Anschaffung, aber ein Kauf wert.

Huh. I ended up liking this way more than I expected for a St Emilion from Magrez. Fairly jammy on the nose, but not a trace of jam on the palate. Instead, there is finely balanced and succulent red fruit. Well-extracted yes, but not close to tipping over. Nice freshness from clay-ish minerals, seaspray and a squeeze of grapefruit peel. Moderate but approachable tannins. Finely balanced. Very good to excellent.
