Tasting Notes
Wine Advocate 90
Tasted single blind at the Fine Wine Experience horizontal in London. This has a deep garnet core with tawny rim. A really wonderful, warm, inviting nose with baked red cherries, warm stones, mulberry, a slight tinny scent (that dissipates with time in glass) and a hint of tar. Great definition. Medium-bodied, smooth entry, very harmonious with nigh on perfect vertical. It does not have a great weight or persistency, a little attenuated towards the oaky, polished finish but very elegant with lots of vitality. Coquettish. This is a lovely, ‘amiable’ Saint Estephe. Drink now-2015. Tasted October 2008.
Anticipated maturity: 2009-2015
