Montagne-St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2018 vintage. A nice discovery. Dark red. Has power and depth. Very good length too.

Dark purple color. Aromas of black fruit and spice. Palate displays blackberries, firm rustic tannins, with some oak and earthy notes on a medium finish ending somewhat tight. Ok but not great.

This is the star of the show at this point! An oft-overlooked bottle from Montagne-St-Emilion comes out as a rockstar in the 2015 vintage. The nose is captivating with smoldering firewood and ground spices leaping out of the glass. The palate is textured with nutmeg and more spice, vanilla, and oak. Darker fruit, anise, wild black cherry, and a touch of smoke round out the palate. This is a definite winner, especially at the modest $30 price point.

This is a stupid good value from montagne st Emilion. Under $20 and loads of dark berries, vanilla and cassis. Drinks like a $40 st emilion. Very clean and no funk whatsoever. Very rich as well

From Laura’s Ets Martin order — had 2015 on 10/30/2021. Very dark ruby. Extremely full buoyant bouquet. Cedar, coal, leather, licorice; secondary cherry and oak. Tannin only mid-palate and light. Jammy finish. Laura’s favorite.

Really like this one. Cherry or plum on the front, full bodied and mild tannin on the finish.

Completely smokes their 2012. When you get your hand on a Merlot based wine like this you can't help but fall in love with this much maligned varietal. Bravo!
