Oaky but not smoky nor earthy. Round tannin, high acidity. For me, Valmaggiore is better.

Drinking nicely 20!years out. Terrific value for a St. Estephe second wine from the same team that runs Lynch Bages and ages well.

Jun 20th, 2020Celebrating National Drink Wine Day! Bottle was double decanted and pour. Color is a purple with browning on the edges. Nose is a floral dark red fruit lingering with a cedar forest floor. Taste is red plum and blueberry and some vanilla in the middle with a finish of cedar and tobacco and very light tannins. Nice and light and drunks well. Enjoying it with pizza and pretzels.
