So who wouldn’t have picked this Grand Cru up with the bottle dated 2010 and Saint Emilion? This red Bordeaux on appearance was clear with a deep intensity of ruby in color. I picked up some aromas of kirsch, black currant jelly, nuts, medicinal, cedar or smoke, and earth. I truly enjoyed deciphering the flavors in this bottle as I picked up kirsch, oak, black cherry, chocolate, nutty flavors and a hint of coffee. Wow, that’s a lot so see what you pick up on the nose and on the palate. Enjoy this wine until 2025.
