St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

This took about 5 hours to come good but it is great stuff. Better than the Barrail du Blanc. Fresher and more vibrant fruit and a much better body.

Ripe juicy dark berries, currants, and tobacco. Well balanced and smooth. Decanted for 1hr.

Raspberry, lactic, tannins medium low

Smells musty and subtly fruity aka not sweet, not super alcoholic or floral smelling. Full bodied, complex, high tannins, round at tip and slightly sharp at the middle (rushes to the nasal passages), but overall very smooth. I like it.

It will be good in a few years
