Tasting Notes

A beautiful effort from the Reiffers family, this deep ruby/purple-colored St.-Emilion offers up enticing aromas of blueberries, crushed stones, acacia flowers, and a hint of subtle wood. Medium-bodied, pure, and well-delineated, with a sweet mid-palate, it is an impressively endowed yet elegant offering. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and enjoy it over the following 12-15. It is a sleeper of the vintage.
