Tasting notes
This medium-bodied St.-Emilion is a pleasant, straightforward effort with, smoky, roasted herb and currant fruit. It has good purity and sweet fruit, but only moderate depth and staying power. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

Medium ruby. Pretty, precise, floral aromas of blackberry, raspberry, plum and minerals. Rich and supple, with moderate density and sweet, fresh fruit. Already offers lovely inner-mouth aromatics. Finishes with firm but fine tannins and a repeating floral nuance.
