September 6, 2015 - Decanted for 1.5 hrs. This is drinking wonderfully right now. Fabulous dark inky color. Dark red fruit, blueberry, dark chocolate, cherry cordial, earth and wet stone with a touch of smoke on the nose. Absolutely wonderful in the mouth. This just screams St. Emilion. Beautiful lush fruit with a wonderfully soft and viscous feel. I love how this rolls around. Ripe raspberry and strawberry hit first followed by some crushed flowers a touch of forest floor. All in wonderful balance. The tannins are nicely integrated with maybe a touch further to go. The finish is long and balanced, enveloping the whole mouth.
This was just as good on the second bottle as the first.2 people found this helpful 5,764 views
