Nice dark colour, showing evolution on the edges. Nose beginning to show teriary notes; black fruit dominates, hints of tobacco. Powerful yet elegant taste (evoking surprisingly a ripe and hot vintage) with a medium length finish (slightly dry, and alcohol poking through). Intensity is good, finesse is average. Nice wine for this price, though.

Decanted it for several hours before friends arrival. A fragrant nose, somewhat typical of St Emilion of cherries. Dark red colour, medium bodied, smooth with a good finish. Lovely bottle for the price I paid.

Nice enough, maturing St Emilion. Dryish finish follows on a cassis/dark cherries dominated palate. Nothing remarkeable, nice everyday quality.

Very decent bottle of St. Emilion with a lively, vibrant cassis character. Drink now and next few years.
