St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend

Deep garnet red in appearance. Well rounded nose with truffles, forest floor, black currants, smoke and aniseed. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. A lot of red fruits on the palate and very dry followed by some branches, cherries, herbs and some light spices. Long finish. Drink till 2036.

Elegant, lovely and perfect to drink while you wait for the monster vintages to come around.

This was showing a polished silky mouthfeel with red, mostly black fruits, plum with mocha, graphite, spice box, leather & tobacco

Classy & polished consistent with my prior notes

Classy wine that is complex & layered showing red berry, plum, currant with sweet spice, mocha, graphite & tobacco

Drinking well that needed some air to reveal a polished, silky mouthfeel with black fruits, red berry, plum, graphite, mocha, spice & tobacco. This will continue to develop for many years

About 2 hours decanting made it wonderful to drink! Very juicy and fruity with great balance.

As always a perfect bottle for a lamb gigot. Great nose - needs airing a tad, long and fruitful. Subtle and profound at the same time
