Tar, cedar, earth, red currant, coffee, and a tiny touch of oak on the nose. This is very intense! The palate shows a bit of extraction, with a superb red currant nose along with a tiny coffee touch, a massive acid backbone putting some balance against the fruit and weight on the sides, a vivid mouthfeel that turns almost grainy in the rear, and a monster of a finish with that red currant note, this earthy, almost leathery thing that I always associate with Saint Emilion wines, that grain and a subtle bitterness that blossom in the end. I want all my Saint Emilion to taste like that going forward 😂
