92 Points

Sunday, February 20, 2022 - First of nine bottles I bought on auction recently. Bottom neck. Medium to dark garnet colour. Restrained nose. Red and black berry fruit, black currant, mint, light leather, light tobacco, light marzipan, and complex spice notes, with good acidity, and very fine and mostly resolved tannin. Medium-bodied, dense, concentrated and well-balanced, with very good persistence. Restrained and elegant upon opening, fuller, broader and spicier if still dense and firm after an hour in a small decanter. Consistent on day two. A very good, well-structured Saint-Émilion! In a good place; no reason to wait, but no need to hurry either. 92+
