Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

From the Right Bank of the Gironde River in St Emilion on south facing slopes, very dark Ruby, purple edges, with aromas of red/black fruits with earthy spicy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and tart cherry flavors with vanilla, herbs and smoky cedar notes. Firm ripe dusty tannins, medium+ finish ending with a mineral spicy finish. Good now! Nice value! — 2 days ago

Goodness the value of a value Merlot based bottle of tastiness. Purpley it is. But it isn’t just purple drapes, there is a pot of hot spiced tea bubbling and someone is puffing a cigar just outside the window. Where are you looking to through this wine window? At your friends. Wearing purple masks but they are there for you. — 6 years ago

This is awesome. Tons of strawberry and peach on the nose with the little bit of herb. I was worried that the palate would be overly sweet, but it is absolutely not. Beautifully balanced. Probably my favorite rose so far — 7 years ago

[75% Roussanne, 18% Grenache Blanc, 7% Picpoul Blanc, 13.0% ABV] Color on this younger Esprit Blanc is noticeably darker, very nutty, almost sweet, aromas, rich and viscous on the palate, but lacks the amazing cut and precision of the older 2011, good balance and length, but merely good tonight. — 6 days ago

I bought this cheap to splash into some braised short rib. Of course, I'll have more than the beef will.
It's good. Dusty and plenty of garrigue. Will pair well with the short rib if I can wait that long.
