St-Estèphe

Medium

Cork

Beautiful texture, smooth yet grippy with tannins that have a grainy element to them as well as supporting the ripe black fruit. Feels restrained in that they haven't pushed too far, it has a sense of grace while still being powerful and concentrated. I love the acidity and energy to this, it's stylish and charming while still being reserved. Tannins do have the final say, coating the mouth with a pleasant chalkiness, suggesting this needs a few years before it settles and fully opens, but lovely promise here.
