Decent £35 St Estephe drinking ok young but will reward 3-4yrs waiting 👍 I preferred the 2012 w/ a dash of Cab Franc 😉

🍇 50% Cab S, 46% Mer & 4% Pet V

🍷 Dark ruby

👃 Smokey mineral oak through sweet dark plum driven fruit w/ earthy mocha & red berry undertone

👄 Med blackcurrant driven body w/ fine drying tannins & hints of red berry & earthy mocha

🎯 Short-Med dry dark fruit finish

🧀 Better with Roquefort cheese 😎

Wow, just had this wine just outside Reims, in Espe's place. It was wonderful with chicken and roast potatoes.
