2019 Croix Labrie St. Emilion Grand Cru Rhône-Nord Lilien und bitteren ÄpfelnJames Suckling: 98 Fabulous aromas of blackberries, blueberries, pine needles and spices, such as nutmeg and allspice. White pepper, too. Full bodied and very tight with a solid core of fruit and ultra fine yet powerful tannins. It's got so much energy and drive. Vibrant at every level. Precise and not overpowering, yet so structured. 97% merlot and 3% cabernet sauvignon. Made from biodynamically grown grapes. This needs time to soften. Try after 2026.
