Very pretty and balanced wine, with rich cherry and cedar notes mixed with graphite and tobacco.

Probably my favorite St. Emillion. First had it at a restaurant in St. Emillion (2006 vintage?) and brought some back home. Had several 2009 vintage bottles since. Love this wine.

Again and with Coravin, still a very good wine. 2009 is a very drinkable vintage at this moment

Oef!! This is big, a very aromatic bouquet, plummy and cedar. Nice vanilla in the nose and roses. Love it!
