Dark in color, you find licorice, dark red fruits, chocolate and floral scents. The wine is lush, round and fat with sweetness, flesh and a hint of jam in the chocolate covered plum finish. Give it a few years before popping a cork.

Grand Cercle wines: Mainly 2015 just bottled (Chateau de Pressac Saint Emilion) : Comes across a bit stolid to me. The alcohol is felt, but not over done either. Still I feel it is rather heavy. A bit monolithic. Just not coming away all that impressed here.

Showing well today, with its luscious, ripe, sweet, dark red fruits, licorice, chocolate and coffee beans in full force. Round and easy to drink, this is a crowd pleaser.
