A very nice blend from the front yard of St. Jean. A pretty Big and complex wine that is drinking very well right now. Smooth tannins, a Great BIG nose and a wine that has several layers of complexity. Enjoy this one, it is really showing well

Deep garnet color. Clear meniscus graduating into dark ruby. After one hour, oaky nose with dark fruit predominant. Nice dusty smooth tannins. This blend of CS, petit verdot and malbec drinks like a juvenile 3rd, 4th growth Bordeaux. There is some nice terroir complementing the fruit, which has a nice pop to it. Additional notes of dark mocha. Aftertaste turns a little bitter after about 15 seconds. Overall, very nice. If you have some, don't wait too long.

Mellow, bordeaux style, past its prime though.
