Absolutely beautiful, fragrant nose here, black fruit, licorice, floral, changing; the palate is full bodied with lots of sweet, black fruit, definitely ripe but not jammy, there is good substance and crunchy tannins on the long, spicy finish. For the power and extraction there is excellent freshness. Modern for sure, but I think no one can deny the quality on display. 17.5+/20 (to be conservative for the moment). Long future.

4e et dernière bouteilles. Définitivement la meilleure du lot. Un St-Émilion relativement abordable qui a des airs de 1er grand grand cru classé. Pour cette bouteille du moins.

Superbe Bordeaux à maturité. Nez sur la confiture de bleuets, cassis, fruité éclatant, superbe. La bouche est cohérente avec le nez, beaucoup de volume et de relief. Harmonie et puissance. L'incarnation du bonheur, beaucoup de plaisir..

Happy Bordeaux Sunday Dear Friends!
Prior tasting notes are spot on, bar that I am getting a little concerned on the amount of wood still to absorb!
That doesn’t make this a great QPR, nor a great wine, but the upside is limited in my eyes…
The fruit is Cristal clear but the wood tannins remain present.
Drink now - 2034
