1999 Saint Emilion Grand Cru

Norbert says:

Rol Valentin was among the first estates in St Emilion to emulate Valandraud and introduce a progressive style of winemaking. Early trials were promising, propelling the estate into the small group of those St Emilion-Château x now in the limelight in Bordeaux. 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, the cuvée is 1999. Dark ruby ​​garnet, violet reflections, delicate rim lightening. Fine herbal spices, red berry nuances, delicately of cranberries, pickled cherry fruit, fresh orange zest, some vanilla. Red berries, a hint of figs, ripe, well-integrated tannins, elegantly ripe and persistent. Expected maturity now until 2028.
