La Réserve Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

Classic right bank - 70% Merlot, 25% Cab Sauv, 5% Cab Franc - plums and graphite with some bell pepper character in a nice way. Seamlessly solid - enjoyable bit not mind blowing.

Meh, not bad, smooth texturally, nice toasty coffee Bordeaux nose but the palate falls short.

For sure mostly Merlot. Plump, but definitely held in check with good acidity and a wall of fine, but firm tannin. #bordeaux #merlot #stemilion #bdx10

Juicy cherry and black plumb. Soft tannins but no the best finish.

For both the new works and modern Bordeaux lover #insanevalue

A nice claret showing better than the vintage on average. Best bottle of 3 so far. Red berries, toasty oak and roasted coffee bean notes. Palate is medium to full with a fine tannic finish.

Very dark ruby pout. Soft but still closed on aroma. May need a bit to open up. Light to medium body. Soil, back pepper, tobacco, wet leaves. Very solid.
