St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe, that seems to deliver well bellow its famous classification, indeed 2007 was not a great year, yet I did have some pleasant wines out of this vintage. This one has a deep dark color, typical Bordeaux nose full of black current, cassis, spicy wood, cherries, touch of vanilla, dry leaves and a touch of dust, full body fruity with dry tannins, good acidity and long dry finish. Quite elegant and mild cool year character. My score 87, drink to 2024
