Saturday, December 11, 2021 - Excellent now! It needs decanting and aeration, preferably 1 to 2 hours. Very closed in upon first pour; prior to decanting. Not a pop and pour. Has dried herbs, hints of pipe tobacco, black cherry aromas mingled with ample oak. Not yet developed fully the forest floor, but that aroma came out upon the second pour. Medium bodied, elegant style. Not overly extracted, but not very concentrated either (08). Some would call it a “classic style”. High (75%) of Cabernet Franc for a St. Emilion, but nicely offset by the 25% Merlot. All together an intriguing style for those who want classism than opulence in a Right Bank Bordeaux.
