Pretty good stuff. Rich color. Nose and taste a blend of new oak and the weediness of merlot + cabernet franc. Just approaching drinkability now, as tannins are extent but not overwhelming. A very nice, lean, well-made Saint-Émilion. From the high vegetal character, I get the impression that the grapes were machine harvested.

A rich nose, with lovely notes of black fruit, spice and leather. The attack on the palate is silky, ample and dense. The intensity and aromatic complexity reveal lovely notes of small black berries, pepper, liquorice and vanilla. The wood aging is perfectly integrated. A fruity, fresh and balanced wine, the finish is long and delicious. To be enjoyed now and until 2031.

Smells great on the nose - modern styled for sure but not lacking for complexity. A touch of savoriness to it. Palate also doesn't lack for complexity either. Kimberly says textured and silky but to me its more grippy and dense. Either way, good stuff.
