Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

Little young but mucho tasty.

Drink now but suitable for aging. Tannins a little high. 20 percent cab franc adds acidity and tannin and great nose.

Definitely in the drinking window with some air....probably still best to wait a little longer

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. It has matured into a delicious, mellow wine.

Drink now and for years to come. Proper balance of tannins and alcohol. Wonderful aroma!

Graphite, wet forest floor, light on the fruit. M+ tannin. Nice for the Price!

Great flavor

Deep dark inky red. Robust aromas of incense, smoke, ash, and over ripe plum rise to the nose. Smooth but not velvety at the start, quickly turns tightly tannic with overtones of cassis, jam, and graphite. Acidity is balanced and the finish is polished if a bit rosin laced. The only thing holding this bord back is the brutal tannins, I'm sure it will be stellar in two more years. Will revisit then.

Very good from the 2010 Bordeaux vintage. A few more years in the bottle and it will be excellent.
