Advice
Serving

On the palate
Merlot-based, this wine has good, ripe structure with mouth-filling spicy fruit and fine length. Lovely plumy fruit is backed by fine tannins making for deliciously juicy wine.
Food pairings
This is a perfect partner for red meat, especially roast leg of lamb, although it makes a good match for roast poultry or moderately mature cheeses.
Reviews
"A fresh, juicy St.-Emilion with spiced plums, cherries and a nice touch of minerals. Not a wine with huge depth, but it shows the Bordeaux classicism through a lens of refinement and linearity. Firm and chalky tannins with medium body and al dente red fruit. Drink or hold." [+]
