St. Émilion Grand Cru Merlot Blend

2018 vintage. Merlot 71%, Cabernet Franc 16%, Cabernet Sauvignon 9%, Carmenère 2%and Noir de Pressac (Malbec) 2%. The 2009 tasted yesterday was very good but I believe this 2018 is even better. Very attractive nose with red and black fruit mixed with complex spices jumping out of the glass. Layered and intense with an impressive finish. Terrific value too. Abv. 14,5 %.

Chateau De Pressac is a gran cru estate with a spectacular view of St Emilion. They're only tasting their 1er vin and 2nd vin. Lovely lush red fruit.

Nice light bouquet of black cherries and dark chocolate. The beauty extends on the palate with just enough acidity to make this wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Please note, I let it sit about 25 minutes.
