Initially Raspberry tart and Brett in a good way. Cork is amazing! Rich thick chewy mouthfeel. Fruit and wood still very prominent and well integrated. Surprised this has really held up well.

This is awesome! Cab Franc, Merlot and Cab. Pop and pour. Smooth, balanced and I dare you to drink just one. This is like potato chips. Basically the wine you would make for yourself. I need a case. SS

The 2012 Haut-Ségottes makes a strong impression. An exuberant yet mid-weight wine, the 2012 possesses striking aromatics, no hard edges and enough depth to drink well for at least a handful of years. This is a gorgeous, under the radar Saint-Emilion that delivers the goods. Hubert de Boüard is the consulting winemaker. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous)

This was better than I expected. Bought at release. Solid wine, pretty florals with a super smooth finish. Good wine for red meat (stewed or grilled). Enjoyed for 2 days.

We have had two different experiences with this. One was very good and one was very bad. I don’t know if it’s a storage or shipping issue (not shipped to me I bought retail and pickup). It’s like two different wines. One very alive and one very dead.

Ahh...St. Emilion...what else to say? Lasting tannins. Sumptuous nose. Soft bramble, herbs, dirt, and hints of barnyard. Delicious! I wish I had more to serve as my good ole standby.
