St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
Garnet brownish in the glass with a brick rim. Underbrush, garrigue, herbs, grilled bread, dried violets, bramble berry, dry branches, tobacco leaf, well worn leather. Some clean blackberry and boysenberry fruit along with rich minerals remain; however this is past its prime. Finishes a touch austere. Audouze'ed this for about 3-4 hours. Even though this is on the decline, it offers great pleasure for those who appreciate the nuanced layers of well aged St Emillion (me).

Apr 1st, 2017Much lighter than I had expected. Awesome aromas; garrigue, camphor, capsicum, tobacco, black tea, leather. The palate is complex, giving off different flavors with each sip. Bright cherry, mushrooms, dusty earth, briar berry, green pepper, charcoal. Finishes with smoke and a nice touch of white pepper. Beautifully complex. All the elegance of a fully mature St. Emilion.
