Tuesday, September 1, 2015 - Appearance: Bright and clear, it has medium ruby color, with slight garnet rims and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (-) intensity aromas of black fruit such as blackberry and plum, oak notes of cedar, dried fruit of prune, sweet spice of clove, kernel notes of mocha, maturity notes of tobacco. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, medium tannin of ripe and a bit grippy on texture, with medium alcohol and medium body, with medium intensity flavors of black fruit such as blackberry and plum, oak notes of cedar, kernel notes of chocolate, sweet spice of clove. The wine has a medium finish.
Conclusion: Good quality St-Emilion with the typical regional characters, though the nose is less intense than I would expect, but still with good complexity. The wine has good structure but the tannin is a bit grippy, with reasonable concentration and finish. Ready to drink now but can benefit from further ageing of another 2-3 years.
