L'If
Saint-Emilion
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
One of the Thienpont “treelogy” (along with Le Pin and L’Hêtre), this L’if from the weak 2013 vintage highlights finesse, freshness, and soft tannins rather than fruits and depth. Notes of red currant, cranberry, licorice with a distinct rusty iron, mineral edge. The medium body is elegant and finely etched, with brisk acidity and silky texture. Mineral echoes on the long finish.
100% Merlot.

Pretty plums. Blue fruit. Medium bodied. Clear. Decent length.
