Good tannins structure some nice fruits, but a tad young and tight. Taste later.

My introduction to and one of my favorite St. Estephe.  at first blush is incredibly tight, tannins coat your entire younger, this wine is just tighter than a three legged cat in a dog pound. Give it a good hour or so in then tannins fade, it’s like it’s enough good structure to be able to enjoy the wine but you get wonderful flavors of fresh rose and chewing on green herbs that go into beef Bourgogne and all of that fun stuff. The tannins fade into velvet, not Lou Reed in the velvet underground, but an iron fist with a velvet glove. There’s a solidity behind it that smacks you in the face with delicious plum and green herb and just floral flavors that would make Monet slap himself in jealousy. Drinking this wine after giving it time to decant makes you realize that you actually have lost that loving feeling and need to drink more wine.

Rich fruit and berry aroma. Structured yet light.

Beautiful Blackie, this is a 2010 that reaps dividends, elegant, aromatic, enduring finish and superbly balanced. For the fans of super flinty haut-medocs this will not have the tannen for you, but the fruit feels century fantastic...once in this century was granted this flesh

Mar 10th, 2017Stringent floral/current aroma fades away after 1.5 to 2 hours' decanting, and the beautiful character reveals. On the nose there are ripe plum, vanilla, freshly crushed almond nuts, black current, leather and a hint of pen ink. Very smooth and rounded front and mid palate with certain degrees of licorice. Full- body, medium+ acidity. Velvety tannins reveals later with a mix of slight bitterness and bursting plumy fruitiness. Finishes long. Thirst quenching.
