Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

Always a right-bank favorite of mine.. first time trying the '12. A touch leaner than previous vintages, but same overripe, richly textured palate I love. Mocha, oak, and blackberry dominate the palate while it lives up to every other '12 bordeaux with seamless tannins that are as smooth as ever. A whif of smoke and charcoal linger in the background.. A great drink for the money.

Straight ahead Bordeaux - not complex but good sturdy aromas and flavors.

We had the 2012 Vintage on 12/5-6/25. A nice wine from St. Emillion. A nice herbaceous bouquet of black fruit and tabaco. BlackBerry, plum, chocolate and leather on the palate. Old World. Medium bodied. A good wine for the price

Rlly good. Lighter

Better after breathing for a bit even after aerating. Great with Gorgonzola. Not a Tuesday evening relaxing wine as a bit heavy.

Over delivers

Well balanced and structured - easily compares with $50 Bordeaux blends

Ok with lamb; maybe wait a few years; $30

$258

Complex. Reasonable price
