This is my 2nd '18 from Saint Emilion tonight, the first I didn't rate... Selection Bias..it was a 91 ... Anyway, this one well integrates the front forward red, blue and black fruit. Equally, it is a bomb of the combo of the 3, but with a slight leaning towards the blue berries. Nice balance with medium plus alcohol and medium tannins. Medium minus acidity. It's a very well balanced wine. I would like another shot at this one as it may be a notch or two higher. 93 points

2018 vintage. Jammy Petit Verdot-heavy nose. Great dense and dark color. Plenty of structure and balance. Medium/medium-heavy body. Picking up a bit of coffee candy on the finish. Wasn’t a fan at first but upon further review, I came around. Workmanlike and currently plodding instead of explosive and/or flighty but thinking it’s worthy of aging a few to trot out in 5-10-15-20 years. Will purchase again and definitely validates that $35-$45 range.

Nice bouquet of raspberry, plum. Tannin is young but pleasant. Body is lighter than I prefer.
