Thursday, March 1, 2018 - This was very pleasant and a solid example of what a Grand Cru St. Emilion should be. Lots of dark fruit, as noted by others, and great balance. Almost no sign of aging - slightly muted fruit but otherwise fresh, no browning and minimal leather on the palate. One surprise was a large amount of sediment, which started to appear in the fourth glass even though the wine had been sitting upright for about two weeks. Coffee filter time. I think the CT consensus of 91.5 points on this wine is about right - it's a fine but not truly exceptional Bordeaux. I'd estimate that this has at least another five good years if properly cellared, and probably longer.
