2022 vintage. A very serious wine for the price. Mainly Merlot, with some Cabernet Franc. Needs a bit of time to open up. Blackberries and spicy oak. Quite powerful and extracted. I would prefer a bit more finesse, but a solid effort for the price. — 10 days ago

This is a review of the Kosher version. Surprisingly good Kosher wine. Rich and earthy with a nice peppery finish. — 10 months ago

2016 vintage. Selected by Jonathan Maltus (Le Dôme, Teyssier and other Saint-Emilions + World's End in Napa Valley), this is a Merlot-driven Bordeaux Supérieur, in a lightly oaked blend with Cabernet Franc. Red cherries and strawberry jam with just a hint of oak. Juicy and ripe sweet red fruit, soft tannin and good length. Nice value at 11 euro. Has an old-world-meets-new-world feel about it. Who said Bordeaux isn't sexy? Abv. 13%. Well done again Mr. Maltus! — 5 years ago

This is a big and burly Saint-Emilion. Dense, concentrated, yet balanced. Lots of (soft and ripe) tannines, leather, coffee, dark plums, touch of cassis, polished furniture, humidor, smoky notes of grilled greens.
Very, very nice.
Bought this in 2014 chez Maltus, during my first Primeur-visit. — a month ago

Dense ruby red with light purple flecks. A wide brim with clear signs of bricking. The nose is certainly not tired with plenty of black olives, licorice, and chocolate cake. Old leather and coffee with dried cherries and plums. A little fat from the grill too just to make it even better.

The American project from Jonathan Maltus of Chateau Teyssier and baby, this is not your standard copy and paste Napa Cab. This is some serious stuff. Big but not huge. Full of depth but not ponderous. Rich and full throttled but not a mess of indistinct fruit. The ripeness of the fruit never crosses the line. Pronounced fruit on the palate with hedonistic cherries and explosive blue fruits. Beautiful vegetal notes along with a burst of green forest. Firm tannins and long finish. Starting to show its age a little so drink them if you got them. I’m not sure these wines are made anymore so if you see any, get them all. — 4 years ago

Wow what a good value-priced St. Emmie. Detailed nose has cedar, green herbs, stony minerals, and, of course, deep plummy fruit (yay Merlot!). Soft and mouthfillingly textured, but it’s got nice balance. Rich fruit initially on the palate but turns savory on a very long tail. Really nice flavor intensity and persistence. Lots of integrated soft, chalky tannin will help this stay the course for several more years, but it’s delicious now. — 5 months ago

It is hard to distinguish this St. Emilion from the neighboring Pomerol’s Nenin - which is more than great recommendation. — 5 years ago
