This is drinking beautifully now. A bit of wet slate on the nose. The palate is full of blueberry and blackberry fruit with a bit of vanilla. Delicious now and another couple of years+

Phenomenal St. Emilion. Wonderful aroma of ripe black fruit and earth notes that continued in the mouth. While it may have 1-2 years left, drinking great right now. Perfect with a steak with sauteed mushrooms. Incredibly balanced on the palette.

Well made wine. Still going strong and not showing any signs of tiring. Still primary fruit with not much secondary notes. My last bottle so I won't see how far it could have gone.

The trade off it seems in all Derenencourt made wines - plenty, and I mean plenty, of fruit, but not much complexity. Simple, but mouth filling and generous. What's not to like, but then again, what's to get enthused about? I'm confident Derenencourt's wines will never hit the heights, but I'm also confident they will never hit the depths. Seems to me, if nothing else, always a safe bet.
