St Emilion GC. Nice warm nose of fresh baked confectionery, marshmallows and some discreet oak. While the entry is q ordinary, it developed quickly into a good mid-palate of layering red fruit and spices. V lush, mid bodied texture. Definitely modern in style. Not sure about structure for aging but drinking beautifully now (8.4/10).

Saw this selling at Wine gallery, tried it once. very fruit bombish but i thought the finish was very short.
ReplyDeleteYes Derrick, definitely fruit forward, and can't see much aging potential in this. Not the most complex wine but nonetheless enjoyable. At <$40 who's complaining
ReplyDeleteits hard to trust saint emilion grand cru bordeaux wines to age for so long. 5-8 years is a max in my opinion.
