This was tasted by Lynne at a blind
tasting at Vinexpo in Hong Kong. It made her remember why she loves Saint-Émilion.
It is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. Silky soft, juicy, elegant with
beautiful fruit, full of dark cherries with minerality and toast. Ready to
drink now, but it has got the backbone to last too. I know many of us don't get
opportunities to taste wines like this, but just in case you have access to
some, do add this to your list. Tim Atkin gave this vintage 91. Among the
higher priced wines from Saint-Émilion.
