St-Émilion

Medium

Cork

Expressive aromatics on the nose. Ripe almost stewed blackcurrants, dark chocolate and cola. Firm and muscular, this is well built and well presented. It has concentrated flavours, layers of blackcurrants, cherries, mint and graphite but so well expressed with a lightness of touch that keeps it balanced and refreshing. Chewy, succulent and grippy, really takes hold in the mouth but the flavours are lovely and the overall depth is a sign of promising things to come over ageing. I love the crushed stone, liquorice and slightly salty finish.  There's plenty of layers and complexity here and the wine makes a lasting impression in the mouth  Will be excellent in time.
