Saint Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

1/23 Big, tight, tannic red that needs 5? years. Dry and chaulky. Could be excellent - as it is all there - but way too dark now. Second taste after Coravin and air was better. Still a big powerful dark red. 86

2/25 - fruit forward, high in acidity and astringent, but not off putting, good depth and body. Solid St Emillion. 87

2/25 fruit forward, good body, a little tight, astringent, good terroir. Solid St Emillion. 87

11/24 this is a big juicy St Emilion that is fruit forward and it has complexity. With a slight dry tanic bite. 88

3.3. A complex full-bodied deep purple Saint Emilio, with numerous flavors and a smooth finish. But I think it needs a few more years to develop its full potential. On sale for $29.99, regularly $36.99.

3.5. Dark purple, up-front fruit followed by flamboyant array of flavors and smooth but slightly oaky finish. A wonderful full Bordeaux. On sale for $31.99, regularly $39.99.

Disappointing, closed, too tannic, not enough else

10/23 - thought the 2016 might have softened a bit but no. very dark and inky with a chaulky tanic feel. 82

Very nice st emillionnthat opens up nicely after 15-20 mins. A full bodies wine without being too big. Excellent with rib roast.

3.6. Delicious Bordeaux Saint-Emilio Grand Cru. Subtle long-lasting taste of fruit and minerals. Wow. On sale for $28.49, and worth it. Regularly $36.99.
