This is a successful and promising unclassified Saint Estéphe from the wonderful 2016 vintage, and a pleasant surprise at around £8/half. The wine features a classic Bordeaux nose of blackcurrant, cassis, sandalwood and an alluring graphite edge, with good concentration and depth to the palate. Supple tannins and a moderate abv of 14% keep this fresh, but it has a youthfulness to it which promises some improvement with age.

Interesting. Slightly more of blueberry fruit than I expected. It changed considerably with some air, and would probably age for a little while longer.
