St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend

This is all about cassis. The tannins aren't anywhere near integrated but the potential to move to 93 or 94 is there. A classic cellar defender with the potential for more.
Paired beautifully with lamb

I would go so far to say this is the perfect bordeaux- great balance of tannins and enjoyable right out of the bottle or as it breathes.

Dry with an extended mouthfeel. Blackberry and currant flavours. Will age nicely.

Smooth, subtle, with low acidity, full bodied, and low key black raspberry taste. Not overpowering or overly tannic even though it’s a 2018. Could drink this all night.
