Fresher and more floral than the 2003, with flavors that run toward mulberry while adding hints of vanilla and maple syrup. It’s richer, creamier and longer than the 2003, showing the results of Seillan having full control over the property for the entire year. Drink now–2015.

Starts off with vanilla and black cherry scents, with just a sprinkling of dried herbs. This blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc is creamy and supple through the mocha-tinged midpalate, then finishes crisper than expected, with some dusty tannins. Drink 2008–2015. Imported by Acadia Imports.

87—89 Barrel sample. One of the two wines produced by Jess Jackson in his St-Emilion property. This is light, fresh, full of blackcurrants, packed with attractive vibrant fruit.
