This bottle was included in a "Lobenbergs Wein-Abo" subscription. A blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. Floral notes. Ripe dark fruit, plum, blackberry, coffee, chocolate, coconut, spices and vanilla, with fine tannin and good length. Medium- to full-bodied, young, ripe, sweet and creamy. A little chewy. Too much sweet, coconutty oak for my taste. Unsatisfying. But there is an intriguing mineral aspect hidden underneath all the oak… Hold for ten years. 89+ for now.

Gorgeous Saint-Emilion! Floral, sweet black berry and smoky nose. Full bodied. Absolutely delicious!
