Very enjoyable, unoaked Saint-Émilion with a lovely crunch to the plum, blueberry and currant (both red and black) fruit. A streak of blood orange and apple peel adds freshness throughout. Intense savoury outline of dried thyme and oregano. Gentle, lingering smokiness. Enjoy with lamb roast, venison or grilled vegetables.
