Archétype d’un bon St Emilion classique. Bel équilibre dominé par les fruits noirs. Tanins bien fondus. Un vin de belle stature qui fait un beau duo avec une gastronomie de terroir et même le cigare qui aura suivi le repas. 2023. Deux années plus tard. Le même. Toujours bien balancé. Tanins bien fondus et encore quelque beau potentiel avant que ne s’annonce le déclin. Très beau compagnon d’un magret.

Typical of its time and place, this is high octane St.Emilion, quite smooth and almost elegant, but with fruit which veers towards a liqueur taste and quite a hot finish. I've had worse examples.

Tasted next to 2015. Floral, good fruit, nicely evolved on nose and palate. Soft tannins, decent acidity, quite simple but nice and ready to drink. 87-89

no reason to complain about this wine but no reason either to be particularly enthusiastic about it. Time to drink it
