Medium(+) intensity aromas of black fruit (plum, cherry and prune) with secondary aromas of oak (cedar, smoke and dark chocolate) and just beginning to show some tertiary aromas and flavors of tobacco leaf and prunes. The wine has medium(+) acidity, medium(+) fine grained textural tannins and medium(+) body. The finish is medium (+) and while slightly grippy, those tannins are ripe and it’s that structure which will give it the ability to age in bottle for another 5/7 years. There is enough fruit and defined aromas and flavors to balance the acidity and the tannins which want to be the protagonista of this wine. A solid Claret. #saintestephe #bordeaux #grandvindebordeaux #cabernet #cabernetsauvignon #merlot and just 5% #petitverdot — 5 years ago

Pale white, excellent clarity. Lime and floral notes in nose. Lemon custard and peach flavors, crisp, dry but fruity, not semidry. Mild astringency with lime, minerality and maybe lactic on finish. Peach and lemon Pez aftertaste. Nuanced wine, excellent varietal expression, well crafted. — 7 years ago
Lots of grapefruit citrus. A little chalky. A pez or spree like sweetness. Interesting. — 8 years ago
