  July 18, 2009 - Not decanted. Opened at 7:30pm as part of the 1998 right bank vertical tasting with the HBC gang
  
  Color: Darker than the La Conseillante, with an almost purple core and young looking
  
  Nose: Fragrant primary floral aroma. Pleasant and gentle
  
  Palate: Not at all heavy and light on its feet, this wine offers a smooth and elegant mid-palate while it trickles down your esophagus. It reflects the typical Saint-Émilion flavors of flowers and cherries with some spice. I could definitely sense the Merlot grape dominating the palate. This wine is not at all complex in character and offers an in-your-face hedonistic pleasure, however it does come up a bit short on the finish, which lasted between 15 to 20 seconds. This was a bit less than the La Conseillante tasted on the same evening
