December 26, 2023 - This has pushed up and is maturating nicely. A very nice and plush rendition of SE without being overdone. A great crowd pleaser. I actually drank this with a serious face and without a fake smile. Drink!

September 11, 2023 - St. Emilion Grand Cru Classés Walkaround tasting, so just short notes (Amsterdam): Beautiful dark berries in the bouquet and in the sweet start. Good acidity and round tannin. Beautiful wine.

July 13, 2022 - Almost a year later, this has bottled up some new elegance and shows a new face of Badette, one with less extraction and more restraint and room for improvement in the bottle. I dont know which version I like better. I think I like the slutty full throttle one, but this one has its place for sure. drink or Hold

November 6, 2021 - Black fruit, leather, oak and eucalyptus or menthol and wet stone combined with high tannin and a full mouthfeel. Finish is quite long. Very satisfying wine, will go well with wild boar stew.
