SF | Less demonstrative than its Dragon bodyguard, but nonetheless assertive and with a pleasing balancing acidity; a floral backdrop and ripe fruit to therefore; self-evidently hog levels of alcohol and a rich robust finish, slightly smoky not not lacking structurally and , finally elegant on the finish.. 91
AJ | Dark black-red, though once again not quite opaque at the core. Pure, fresh fruits with a fine spectrum of sweet tones, too: raspberry, mulberry, bilberry. Subtle oak lends a succulent undertow. Serenely attractive. Lush, full, vivid and vibrant: one of the fruitiest and more exuberant of our St Emilion cohort. It's a very different style to Haut-Brion but that is perhaps what the vineyards deliver, and the quality of those fruits is excellent. It has a subtle, discreet tannin profile: vivacious drinkabilty to the fore here.Drink Dates: 2026 - 2037.
