Tasting Notes
This is a ripe, rich, densely packed St Emilion red with layers of flavours. The flavours and tannins are finely woven and will allow the wine to age for many years. This wine will require at least five years in bottle before the flavours come together. A classy wine with a fairly long finish. asianpalate.com

Clos de l?Oratoire. From low yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare and a biodynamic approach, the property produced a wine from a blend of 95% Merlot and Cabernet Franc that will be aged in 75% new oak. Vanilla, fennel, black cherry, fresh herbs, lush textures, silky tannins, sweet licorice covered jammy berries and chocolate. winecellarinsider.com
Love the finish to this. It really kicks in with bright acidity, citrus and blackberries and minerals too. This is complex. Full and super silky. Loving it! jamessuckling.com
One of the best from this Stephan von Neipperg cru. Round, full-bodied with velvety texture and tannins. Lovely fruit underpinned by ripe tannins. James Lawther, decanter.com
