Coffee, licorice, smoke, oak, wet earth and blackberry liqueur scents flood your glass. Deep in color, the wine is powerful, rich and clearly expresses its limestone terroirs. There is a polish to the tannins, and an elegance to the powerful, ripe black fruits. But make no mistake, this is a wine to lay down. It is not going to be fun to taste for at least a decade or more.

Deep in color, licorice, stone, smoke, coffee and jammy dark berries pop from the glass. This thick, rich, intense, fresh, mouth filling St. Emilion ends with a long, pure, minerality based opulent, spice and plum liqueur finish. 95-96 Pts

2010 Bordeaux En Primeur; 4/3/2011-4/4/2011 (Bordeaux): Even bigger than Pavie Decesse, more open and fresher fruit as well, blueberry compotes, coffee, mocha, excellent concentration, noticeable sandy tannins 95-97 pts.

Drank on Friday w IN; still a bit young; tannins after an hour or so were grippy; give this more time.
