(01-2005)
(12-2017) Lively, bright, fresh, red and dark red fruits, licorice, flowers, truffle, smoke and coffee bean aromas create the complex nose. The wine hovers between medium/full body, with soft, textures, fennel, plums and freshness in the finish.
(02-2013) Beautifully textured red with supple tannins and flavours that were initially closed. After an hour in the decanter, the wine opened revealing layers of savoury spices, blackberries, plums and herbs. A classic St-Emilion from a delightful, under-rated vintage. The wine is just starting to open up now but still has a youthful edge.
