Just the most gorgeous nose of dark bitter chocolate with ripe blackcurrants. Round and playful, this is bright and upfront in the glass with lively acidity that lifts the whole palate and gives a zing to the red berry fruit. Menthol elements and touches of spiced liquorice join on the mid palate alongside touches of minerality giving nuance to the wine while beautiful florality and freshness stays from start to finish. I really like the structure and the expression, it's verging on high toned but the ripe, gentle sweetness keeps things balanced and harmonious. I love this and think it has really excellent drinkability now with an airing and also potential to age. A lovely wine from a family estate situated in the northern part of St-Emilion with a winemaking history dating back 500 years. Blend of 55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, aged 12 months in 50% new oak barrels. Organic.
