Tasting notes
This is a modern-styled St.-Emilion with copious quantities of smoky, toasty oak, ripe, fleshy, earthy, black cherry and cassis characteristics, and plenty of pain grille (toast) notes. The wine exhibits excellent ripeness, purity, and more flesh and length than it did last year. Drink it over the next decade.

Deep ruby. Aromas of blackberry, liqueur, violet and mint. Then tough and rather lean in the mouth, with a green component and elevated acids. Does not seem to have the ripe raw material to support the extraction.
