Monthly WTF guys blind tasting group. This month was our annual, and famed, Left Bank vs Right Bank theme. All wines served blind as usual. Started off with a Rosé and a champagne. Great night.

Another producer I was not familiar with. Great aromatics of espresso, blackberry jam & baked fig. Palate was blue and black fruit dominant with sandalwood and dark chocolate. Touch sweet. Enjoyable now. I called this ‘12-14 Right Bank. Thanks

Upgrade to grand cru classes in 2012 this wine was one of the favorites of a tasting of St. Emilion mineral rock hints of vanilla cinnamon and allspice tannin in control with rich juicy black fruits..

Nice. Full bodied. Light in sweetness. Would like to try more vintages.
