Huge nose of dark cherry liqueur, flowers and pencil lead. A finish that takes a while to unwind. Needs a well-marbled Delmonico to chase.

May 17th, 2015Phenomenal Bordeaux. Great depth of evolving layers of currant, cassis, dark cherry and ..oh so well integrated tannins. Smooth and extremely well balanced. Bernard told us that St Estephe is the feminine side of Pauillac while Saint Julien is the masculine side. This wine supports that notion. Paired extremely well with bbq copper river salmon from Alaska.

Jun 9th, 2019The driest of the dry tannin wine from left bank, south of the Gironde, Bordeaux: Saint Estephe. What is it with these wines from this region? Narrow, yet so succulently rich. Deep dry dark mineral fruit that puts you in a spell .... a thirst for more...but there isn't more.....Had to share it with my wife.
