Chateau Boutisse, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Even better in the bottle than it was from the barrel, the wine exudes its aromatic profile with ease, deftly showing off its espresso, incense, flowers, chocolate, and plums. The palate is even better due to its luscious core of creamy black cherries, spice, and chocolate. The long, fruit-packed finish wraps up everything nicely. The wine blends 82% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Carmenere, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2025-2040.

Luscious, creamy, ripe, deep, dark, opulent fruits that come in layers with nuances of espresso, cocoa, and chocolate on the medium-bodied, fresh, polished palate. Drink from 2025-2040. 92-94 Pts.

nom nom !

Fully ready to go as it already delivers its ample, ripe, round, black cherry and plummy core of fruit that is made even better with its slight spicy accent and chalky, oceanic finish. Drink from 2023-2030.

Dusty minerals, cedar wood, earth, coffee and sour red berries with a green finish of compost and herbs. Really nice wine with great value. Paired with homemade meatballs with lingonberries on day one, drank great by itself on day two aswell.

Straight forward wine , well mannered but lacked a special and memorable side . 87

Right Bank Blend of 86% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Carmenere and 1% Cabernet Franc. Young and plush black and plum fruit. Lovely note of creamy vanilla extract that is quite pleasant. Hints of tobacco, sweet spices and earth. The acidity and tannins are soft and well balanced.

Ett gott vin, men hade förväntat mig mer.

Too early...

Straightforward right bank red. Perhaps a bit Young as it is quite hard with drying tannin. Let this one rest 2-3 years and see what happens.

A fairly straightforward blend here, that can be served - quite easily - with grilled steak, and would be pleasing but it lacks enough character to be truly compelling.
