A great value wine, a lovely Saint Emilion, this blend of 70% Merlot, 30% CS has a deep garnet color, nose of red fruits, cherries, black current, black berries, cedar wood, medium body, good acidity, nice pleasant finish, still needs some time to mellow down. My score 87, drink 2016-2022

A very classic nose with layers of dark fruit, a bit of cassis, some plum and a nice, savoury undernote to the lush fruit.
On the palate this has a very nice mouthfeel - layered, lush, juicy with the tannins pronounced yet nicely juicy and polished. Good flow & balance. Fuller & richer than I expected.
8h decant.
Overall - a very proper & highly enjoyable right bank Bordeaux. Great value too.

Супер 2007 год. Очень понравилось. Слегка лёгкое для Бордо, но вкус сбалансирован. Очень вкусное вино!

Beau tannin. Finale un peu trop boisé/terreux
