Grapes: Red Bordeaux Blend

Aging: French Oak Barrels

Tasting Notes: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 Points: “Performing as I expected, but still several years away from full maturity, this extraordinarily flamboyant, full-bodied, opulent, sexy St. Emilion stood out for its backward structure and youthful personality. A dark plum/garnet hue is followed by a superb bouquet of roasted coffee, kirsch, blackberries, licorice, herbs, and forest floor. Full-bodied, dense, rich, and pure, it is a total hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on.” (RP) Jun 2010
