Bordeaux blend, predominantly of Merlot (=/-90%) and remainder of Cab Sauvignon and Cab Franc. In the glass, dark cranberry red color with noted touches of purple at the rim and is one of of the most opaque red wines i have ever tasted. Aromas of ripe dark red cherries, cassis, crunch plums and blueberries. Also, intense aromas of earthiness, leather and tobacco. On the palate, the wine’s intense fruit flavor characteristics mirrored its quite expressive aromas. This is a dense wine and is full bodied. Acidity is balance with long finish.
Special note: unusual quasi-plastic cork on the bottle.

Deep ruby in the glass, nose of vanilla, sour cherries and plums. Very smooth palate with dark fruits and vanilla coming through strongly with plenty of tannins. Long fruit oriented finish with some tertiary notes of leather and cigar box.

The dress is purplish-purple, still hinting at great youth. A complex, intense and deep nose with very beautiful notes of black fruits, spices and flowers. There are notes of blueberries, blackberries, blackcurrant, pepper, liquorice and violet. The bouquet is revealed as it is aerated. The attack on the palate is supple, dense and very delicate. The aromatic bouquet is magnificently intense. A wine of character perfectly expressing the splendor of this terroir. The balance between tannins and acidity is remarkable. The finish is fresh and elegantly long, giving the wine extreme seduction. To be enjoyed in 2025 and until 2044.

St. Emilion Grand Cru Classés Walkaround tasting, so just short notes (Amsterdam): In the blend of the 2019 is 93% merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Cabernet Franc. The bouquet is aromatic with beautiful dark berries. On the palate the same. Sweet and ripe fruits with juicy acidity and round tannin. Beautiful wine.
