Tasting notes
Deep, blackish crimson. Some overripe pruney notes on the nose – and the off-green note too! Very cool and sleek and almost salty. A strange wine without St-Emilion's usual welcoming embrace. Not bad – just different. Dry, sandy tannins on the finish. (JR)

Excellent currant, earthy, herb-tinged leather and black cherry fruit emerge from this medium-bodied, fleshy, yet somewhat rustic effort. Possessing sweeter tannin than generally found in Cadet-Piola, it should drink well for a decade.
