A fav for decades. Magrez knows his stuff. Dark red fruit. Balanced acidity and tannins, the latter are soft and ripe. 2018. Drinking beautifully.

Drinking much younger than its age showing dark red fruit, berry, graphite with a perfumed nose of menthol, spice & tobacco notes.

Fairly impressive, of course, it was pretty hard to make bad wine that vintage, nice property, underrated.

Nose is strong in acid. Maybe some unripe cherries. Light in body with strong acidic fruit. Overall.... Amazing.

Fabulous drinking wine on way home, certainly tantalised the taste buds through a smooth aroma that was elegant.

Beautiful mahogany color showing aging. Strong notes of leather and fig along with some herbaceousness, woodland fruit, and brown sugar.

A l aveugle
Robe fonce léger acajou sur le disque
Nez léger liège l air lui fait du bien avec des note de terre humide de tabac de poivron vert
Bouche dure au début elle deviendra plus aimable avec toutefois un végétal marque et surtout un manque de chaire
Je l aurai bien vu plutôt en chinon que saint émilion
De très beaux restes
