Berry good. Deep and dark like a Joseph Conrad novel but with a happy ending.

T's wine: 1 week to the wedding!
We liked mine better until this one opened up. So good.

Fresh green herbs, sour cherry, some forest floor. Long finish with lively tannins. #bordeaux #saint-emilion

Everything about this wine is understated, but all the components are perfectly in balance. Roses with a hint of leather on the nose. Light red fruit on front. Medium tannic structure with silky mouth feel. Some gravelly high notes kick in mid palate, but they fade into a smooth finish.

This wine doesn’t need any more aging. It’s complete. I’d rate higher except that it fades fast. Let it breathe in the bottle. Do not decant.

Fairly earthy but also quite smooth. Tastes like vanilla and dark fruit.

Merlot based with just a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Intense red color. Aromas and flavors of ripe dark cherry and currant with hints of vanilla and oak. Nice weight, elegance and concentration. Beautifully balanced.
