Quite grippy. Dark gives way to red fruit. Juicy and engulfing.

Decanted. Young and light in body, just on the edge of being too tart to drink now, but with lamb and beef it shows well over 3 days. Well made. SS

Smooth and elegant. Then a surprising power in the finish. Very good for now.

Popped and poured.Little hot on nose. Dark Berries. Very present tannins. Long pleasant finish. Punching out of its class. Ain't quitting any time soon. Plenty of time on two remaining bottles.

Raspberry with some pepper and soft spicey accents, mild to medium tannins, short but smooth finish. Could use more cellar time to develop further but also drinks very well now.

Spectacular Bordeaux. Everything you want in immediate drinkability with the added bonus of savory tannin heralding a long life.

Beautiful well rounded Bordeaux wine. A fine example of a St Emilion.
