I bought this several years ago at the property have kept it lovingly and decided that the anniversary was a fittting time to try my first bottle.
The color was rosy violet purple, clear but deep. While I was struck with a pleasant nose I really couldn't discern anything particular.
Again strangly the taste was incredibly pleasnat but I lack words for it perhaps becasue it felt better than it actually tasted.
It was the finish that really hit me. Big mintiness the tannins are quite fresh in this bottle not bracing but definitely left one's teeth knowing that they had had a visit.
This probably sounds horrible, it was really quite good gaining more depth as dinner time arrived the fruit was coming out to play and it went from tasting like a rather tannic Burgundy to a more appropriate St Emilion with darker color and fruit than the bright cherries that we first encountered.
How good was this. This one was a "We must go back (it is after all only a full nights flight to Paris and 2 hours to Bordeaux) and get some more" rating.
