Well done and with good fruit and tannins, in a modern style. Not our thing, but not over done or over extracted, just lacks freshness / acidity to our taste, we find it a bit monotone.

A modern wine with everything done correctly. But its very extracted, very oaky and lacks a bit of finesse and classicism. Its a good wine for sure, but not classical claret.

Great core of fruit, earth, herbs, but too much wood.

Very dark robe, nose of black fruits, spices and flowers, very fresh and long in the mouth with civilized tannins. Great value for the price. Drink or hold.

Oak and mushroom aroma. Blackberry flavor. Enough tanning and spicy. Rich taste. Mid + @800, Xiaduo - XH, 190103-190105

Very Smooth and lovely taste, most people would love to drink, without any pressure, but lack some complexity, anyway worth its price, can be easily appreciated and enjoyed with family or friends

Enjoyable for a young St Emilion. Still a little juicy but tasting of leather and smoke
