Big boy, hyper extracted and super rich. Dense plush and expressive, with crushed berry bruit, licorice and chocolate, with a dusting of oak and tannins on the finish. For fans of modern style s-e. Better as a digestif than with food. Drinking well but plenty of structure for further evolution

Hugely extracted, sappy, boozy monster of a wine that’s a dead ringer for Napa. Despite the high ratings, it’s not a style I enjoy...

Drinkable - good Saint Emilion - not great and won’t last, but drinkable now!

2012 opened 2019 very similar description as the 2005, good Bordeaux but a bit astringent. Seems to be consistent year after year and would pair well with food. Plum nose with hints of fall spice

Well balanced. Good fruit and tannins. Another wine for New Years.
