Creamy, red-berry nose. Lovely texture of tannins. Acidity present but less jarring than in La Chenade. Some length. Slightly grainy finish.

It hits the palate with medium-bodied richness and has good acidity, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It's another beautiful wine I'd happily drink any time over the coming 10-12 years.

Very pretty blend of 65% merlot and 35% cabernet franc with a medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. Shows brightness and refinement.
Solid and structured Saintayme, with lots of terracotta and dark fruits on the nose and palate. It's medium- to full-bodied with a fine, chewy tannin backbone and a flavorful finish. Impressive.

Plush contours wrap it all together. A decidedly opulent, flashy Saint-Émilion, Saintayme has a ton of tannin, but it's nearly buried by the sheer luxuriousness of the fruit.

So much sea salt and crunchy fruit with berry and grape character. Some orange, too. Medium-bodied, bright and vivid. Lively finish.
A fantastic bouquet and palate with all senses engaged by the aromas of spices and meats, ripe fruits and savoury earthy temptation. Flavours of dark berries and plums, aged meats and salami.

A powerful, detailed and delicious red.

A hint of coffee and wet leaves to the dark olives, black cherries and violets. Pretty full-bodied on the palate with some chewy tannins and a spicy finish. Plenty of tapenade in the finish.
