Love that this wine shows grace and balance even at this affordable price point. The nose is light, even a bit faint but on the palate there’s nice ripe berry flavors, hints of dark chocolate and wet bark. The medium finish on the Bordeaux is slightly tannic. Top Saint-Emilion? No. Pretty nice, affordable Grand Cru? Yes.
70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Around $16.
Whoa, sounds like a pretty great value for St. Emilion Grand Cru. I’d imagine those tannins will continue to soften with bottle age. Nice find!
