St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend

Really like this one as well. Plum, black fruit and bold cherry.

This blockbuster saint Emilion meets its great reviews. It is my first time with this solid saint Emilion, not the last:-).
A merlot driven blend of 90% Merlot and 10% CF, resulting in a deep garnet color, intensive nose full of black cherries, plums, smoked turkey, sweet spices, licorice, full body, firm tannins, great acidity, rich and intense finish. My score 90, drink 2017-2026

Low fruit nose. Not picking up much at first. Dark fruit first sip with a stone fruit core. Needs to open up more. Gonna keep it in the air a bit longer. ....... Nose is still tight. Has a garden at night scent. Tart fruit draw back. Creamy finish. Really wanted this to be better than it is, but there is a certain depth to it that will let the other bottles show up better later.

Wonderful St Emilion vintage 2012. A pleasure to endulge!

Spectrum Auction Tasting at San Diego Wine Storage. Very nice.
