2012 Montague St Emilion - Bordeaux ammazingness. Smooth as silk, cassis, flowery undergrowth if that makes sense but that's what it smells like? A hint of wet stones on a rainy day. Perfect Friday BDX — 5 years ago
From Dec 2019 Ets Martin shipment, had 2016 on 4/30/2021. Red plum, maraschino cherry, battery smell, smoke, iodine. Low tannin. Muscular not plush. Finish moves quickly to a cedary flatness. — 5 years ago

I have opened the 2010 Château Calon Montagne-Saint-Emilion. A blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc.
On the nose I am getting black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, herbs, tobacco, licorice, chocolate, spice and earth.
On the palate there is nice dsrk fruit, black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, bay leaf, licorice, herbal notes,graphite and earth.
This wine is medium to full bodied with a supple mouthfeel, medium+ acidity and medium to medium + fine supple tannins that leaves you with a long dark fruit earthy finish. Have a great week ahead and please be safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 5 years ago

Beautiful sample from St Emilion! Very young, but gave way in the decanter after 2+ hours. Cherry, tobacco and a hint of herbs on the back pallet. Will be good to try this again in a few years. — 7 years ago
Yummy. It's yummy in every way. Rich mouth filling red berries with beautifully balanced tannins and more than a hint of Oak. Drank a bottle over three days and it was a different experience every time... From pleasantly round with a fruity acidity to deep and mouth filling st. Emilion oaky greatness. — 9 years ago

A dry lush, if there is such a thing! Good tannins, medium bodied, decent complexity. Razberry, cherry notes. Earth tones. Would buy a again! (Habeeb 4.2) — 5 years ago
Really nice nose. Very interesting on the pallet. Starts out with a lot of dark fruit and finishes with quite a bit of tannin. A little more than usual but not off putting it all. — 5 years ago
I also have a weak spot for Pomerol’s and right banks from St. Emilion. This find delivers on that Merlot inspired approach. Subtle. Expressive. — 5 years ago

2019 vintage. From the owners of the excellent Moncets and Chambrun estates in Lalande-de-Pomerol. Just one hectare of 100% Merlot in the Montagne Saint-emilion appellation ( at 750 meters from Cheval Blanc as they state on the website). Don't expect Cheval Blanc quality though, but it's also 50 times less expensive. Anyway, this is a great value. Attractive nose with cherries and violets. Medium-bodied, well balanced, with ripe cherry fruit, spices, and more than decent length. Hard to believe how cheap this is. Contrary to common belief, Bordeaux features some of the best values in the world. Abv. 13,5%. — 10 months ago
