juniper and violet

almost iron-like note on the palate

a touch of asparagus gives the wine a greenness in the middle palate but there's also plenty of supporting dark fruit and graphite minerality

There is enough fruit for the 2001 to drink well for another decade or so

The grapes fermented in open wooden vats and carried out the malolactic fermentation in oak barrels

Croix Saint Georges (Pomerol) Vintage:2021 juniper and violetSupple, creamy, and fresh, with a concentrated core of black cherries, black raspberries, plums, chocolate, and a sprig of mint that lingers. There is a lush quality to the silky fruits, as well as a touch of spice, elegant textures, and a plummy, fruity packed finish. The wine is produced from 100% Merlot. This is the best wine produced here in ages! Drink from 2026 2045
