SF | Deeply saturated colour, the faintest hint of amber at the rim. The nose is generous, almost evolved, figs, quince and chalk dust accompany the more usual fruit descriptors, the latter dominated by black and blue berries. The palate is approachable , broad, clean of definition and not lacking for ripeness of fruit. Firm acidity and an impressive length; a medium term wine, showing well on the day and clearly on the up... 91
AJ | Dark, dense black purple-red. Perfumed and citrussy, but earthy too. Root spice and citrus dominates, intriguingly. An attractive aroma: freshly scented: all aerial, but with real finesse. Gosh, this is a lovely wine -- one of the new generation, and all perfumed charm. Light and dancing on the palate. Perfectly ripe for all that; super elegant tannins. Another of the 'burgundy styled' wines which are challenging all of our St Emilion preconceptions.Drink Dates: 2027 - 2035.
