St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

A very easy wine to like, but a hard one to love. A touch astringent and not much nose, but pleasantly clean.

Green

Fading blackberry and raspberry, cigar, ash, red licorice. Mellow AF, plush tannins. Drink now. Flint lamb chops and fried chicken

A bit rustic but tasty and balanced. Good value.

Beautiful body that is balanced with hints of raspberries and cigar box, smooth drinking and perfectly aged.... don’t let this sit much longer.... crack open, decant and enjoy with good friends - like I am

Maybe it’s the altitude but loving this. Great depth of fruit with mineralality.

A very nice dry wine that takes a while to open but once it does it is very pleasant. Had it at dinner in Belgium and found it to be delightful. Priced well at 44 euros it is a good value for a Grand Cru from Burgandy
