St-Estèphe

Wonderful fragrance emitting out of the glass – a lovely vivid pink colour to the rim also. Fruity and juicy straight away, clean, crisp, bright and fresh with a really cool, wet stone undercurrent. There’s firmness but also finesse in that you have the presence of tannins without any harshness or grip. Lovely structure and focus. Super long, with that cool fresh grip really extending on the finish. I like it a lot for its cool profile, low alcohol and really understated character. Something very confident about this, but quiet. You can really feel the Cabernet here, it’s speaking in volumes. Becomes more chewy and round and relaxed after a few minutes. This will be delicious. A liquorice minty spice on the finish. Round and soft. Joyous. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Ageing 40% foudres, 15% new oak, 10% concrete tanks. 3.69pH. 69 IPT.
