  Deep carmine-purple, black core, opaque. Aromas of dark fruit, sous bois, oak and spice box, cedar. Dry, medium-medium(+) acidity, medium(+) supple tannin, medium alcohol and full body. Powerful and broad palate of blackberry, cherry, red berry interwoven and leather, pepper, licorice. Very long finish.
  I do not recognize the other CT TN as related to this wine. Were these sampled too young?
  10 bottles left.

  Purple/red hue, light color. Moderate first taste, red fruits, mild finish, medium linger. Not a great year so perhaps not quite right

  Tannic, oaky, bright red fruits, espresso, licorice and a lot of freshness on the nose and palate. The wine should age well, but perhaps without a lot of charm.

  Appearance: Bright and clear, it has deep ruby color, with legs.
  Nose: Clean, with medium intensity aromas of black fruit of blackberry, plum and dark cherries, oak notes of cedar, kernel notes of toasted almond, sweet spice of cloves, pungent spice of licorice, some maturity notes of wet earth. The wine is developing.
  Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium tannin, soft and integrated, with medium alcohol and medium (-) body, showing medium (-) intensity flavors of black fruit such as dark cherries and plum, pungent spice of licorice. The wine has a short finish.
  Conclusion: Acceptable quality St-Emilion, with a nose that is reasonably concentrated and complex, however, the palate is surprisingly light and there is not much intensity on the flavors, also quite simple. The wine has a short finish and it is ready to drink now and not intend for further ageing.
