Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

A phenomenal value in rustic Bordeaux. Old world to it's core. Underripe berry, prune, basement mold, formative acidity and chalky, paper tannins. Great structure and elegance. This is in a wonderful spot now. Complex and changing by the second, but utterly enjoyable. I'm only 27 so I could never have Bordeaux from the 70s and 80s when it was young...but something tells me it was closer to this than many more modern St. Emilions.

Its about the subtleties here. Blackberries/currants, leather, black pepper. Nice tannins. Very food friendly and great with beef stew

Was kind of tired but still hold on a bit - fun to try but feels like it has past its peak - good experience

Great pairing for a Christmas Prime Rib!

37 ans!!! Il a du corps sur le coup, mais peu de longueur. Des odeurs de champignons séchés - il s’est ouvert, odeur et goût de tabac et de vin fortifié - genre madère. Belle expérience pour un 1986, mais un peu dépassé son temps de gloire. Merci @Danilo Bartolini !

The 2009 vintage aged really well. It was smooth with berries and heavy with aromas. I loved it

2009 vintage very smooth and aged well

Blah.

Good nose. Vanilla, tobacco, very good finish.

Wow
