| Very deep intense purple colour. Mature, intense, complex, baked plum and ripe cherry nose with some faintly earthy, cedary, notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, slightly spicy, intense, ripe plum-dried red cherry flavours with a long, still slightly tannic, high acid, gently cedary, faintly mocha-tinged, lingering finish. This classy, tasty 12-year-old Grand Cru St-Emilion is a blend of 77% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon and has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. The 2006 was available at the SAQ for only $50 (#12097989), while the recommended 2008 (***) with 91-points was released in Vintages on September 17, 2011 at $45.00 (cspc 235556).
