There is a purity of fruit here, that you cannot help but be wowed by. The wine is powerful, big, concentrated and takes over your palate. Yet, it is in perfect balance, which is hard to figure out how they managed to do that. The wine sticks with you for close to 50 seconds. .

Inky in tint with oyster shell, florals and black and blue fruit perfume, this wine is a bit like Beyonce -- incredibly rich, lush, sensuous and polished with a blast of ripe, dense fruits in the finish.

Fragrant and poised, but could do with more depth and layering on the finish.

Better freshness coming out of Saint Emilion (Actually two locations: UGCB in New York (1/2018) and in Saint Emilion (12/2017)): Same blend as with Pavie-Decesse but a bit less new oak at 80% and there seems to be better balance, here, a bit more juiciness on the mid palate and brighter fruit! And the body is impressive, quite broad. Still, a massive oak driven context as well, so if you love this style, give it a higher score :-).
