This was a very pleasant surprise. I’m not a Bordeaux guy but this rocked. The brightness of the ripe red berry fruit on the nose was remarkable. Wonderful balance. I’m sorry I had only one bottle.

Wine that keeps getting better every vintage. Lovely classic old school nose that has such precision. What a leap over the the 09 and 10. Bittersweet cocoa, kirsch, cassis, leather, mineral, touch of smoke but also intensely mineral. So mineral. Palate is profoundly juicy and complex with terrific structure and freshness. Rich cassis and black cherry fruit and hints of bitter chocolate. Ripe and juicy tannins and crazy concentration and power. Too young obviously but the best young Samion I've ever had. What a great wine.
