Earthy, soft, complex. Rich in terroir and with fully matured tannins. dry red fruit tobacco and earth predominate the palette with dry tart cherry and rust on the finish. At this age it has limited appeal but delivers in complexity and elegance.

Just opened the bottle and so far it's very good. A true Saint Emilion. Cherry, tobacco,espresso. A fine bottle for under 30.00. It's opening nicely.

Great value for the price. Full bodies with slightly soft tannins and acidity. Notes of mushrooms, dried herbs, dried fruits.

After opening up for 10-15 minutes this right bank showed its Merlot backbone and hints of Franc. Got better by the glass of course.

A little dry for my tastes, but still was smooth to drink and mellowed in the glass.
