Fairly boring label. Black with the red letters is cool. Dark as night in the glass. Deep maroon to almost black. Aroma is a lovely mix of sun drenched chaparral shrubs and wet hot rocks. Flavors are chewy and balanced. Cassis or fresh black currants are there. Plenty of earthy veggie. Hint of toast with blackberry jams. (But without sugar of course). Ends with just a little mocha and salty licorice. This is great Lussac Saint-Emillion. Complex, flavor drenched and crying out for grilled foods.

Cherry, underripe plum, black pepper, touch of green notes. Quite a lot of sour cherry on the palate. A bit monolithic but with good structure. Sour cherry acidity and firm tannins. A bit of spice on the finish. Solid.
