Kyle Groombridge 
A pretty monstrous wine here, even for St. Emilion standards. Deep purple in the glass with lush, long legs. Exotic purple and blue fruit on the nose, with some cedar and ash. Licorice and oak fill out the nose. The palate is big and expansive, with more licorice and some chalky, slightly astringent tannins. Definitely needs more time in the bottle (expected of 14's), but perhaps a bit overdone on the oak regiment.. hopefully that settles down too with time.

Medium ruby hue. Aromas of bell pepper, blackberry, cassis, licorice, and tar. (The cassis note is upfront.) Med-plus body: med-plus tannins and med-plus acidity. Balanced.

Rich aromas, definitely picking up on vanilla oaky notes, dark fruits. Light but lush body, fruity (black fruits) and earthy (soil), prominent but smooth tannins.

Very good, savoury style with loads of smoke, peppers, coffee and truffle. Acidity is on the higher side but not overpowering, i enjoyed this.

Smooth yet held up fantastically to mustardy chicken Milanese and peppery arugula salad.
