St. Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend

First time to drink this producer. Very nice. Most wine is sold DTC similar to what we do in Napa. Nice acidity and density. Ready to drink.

Dark fruits, pepper on the nose. Surprisingly fresh on the plate but still leather, mushrooms, black cherry and pink pepper. Nice tannins

Left bank at it’s full expression. May be not the best vintage but still elegant.

Spicy peppery taste medium bodied.

Dark red colour with classic Bordeaux bouquet of cassis and undergrowth. Currently very drinkable dark berry and plum taste with a little tar that, combined with some still lively tannin, gives this sufficient punch and robustness to work well with steak, without being too heavy. Much better than the 2004. Drinking the 2006 in 2016.

Pour le fromage au son des cigales :)

2006 vintage.

Definitely ready to drink, great St Estephe!
