Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Saturday, February 23, 2019 - Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of deep ruby colour, with fading rim and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of black fruit of bilberry, plum and blackcurrant, red fruit of raspberry, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of cocoa and coffee, maturity notes of tobacco. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium (+) alcohol and medium body, with medium (+) flavours of black fruit of blackberry and plum, oak notes of toast, kernel notes of chocolate, sweet spice of clove. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality St-Emilion with good concentration on the nose, showing good complexity in aromas, the wine has a similar flavour profile, with robust and structured body, and an intense palate showing reasonable length on the finish. It is ready to drink now though can benefit from further ageing of another 3-5 years.
