Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 09 Feb 23
L’If 2018 is deep garnet purple in color. It starts off a little oaky, melding into scents of warm plums, black cherry compote, and licorice, with touches of dried mint and iron ore. Full-bodied, firm and with lovely tension, it has loads of mineral sparks on the finish.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2038

Vinous Neal Martin - 21 Mar 21
The 2018 L’If, which sees 50% new oak and 50% one-year-old wood, has a disarmingly lovely bouquet that veers more toward red fruit than black, offering raspberry and wild strawberry, hoisin and light marmalade aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins and quite saline on the entry, with good tension from beginning to end. Harmonious and almost understated toward the finish, it leaves light white pepper and sage notes on the aftertaste. This is an excellent L’If that should give 12–15 years of drinking pleasure.
Drinking Date: 2023 - 2035
Saint-Emilion Fine Wine

Saint-Emilion

Saint-Émilion, a historic Bordeaux Right Bank appellation, is known for rich, robust red wines primarily from Merlot and Cabernet Franc. These wines feature deep colour, lush texture, and complex flavours of ripe plum, black cherry, blackberry, with hints of chocolate, licorice, and earth. They have smooth tannins and balanced acidity, making them both approachable and age-worthy. Top producers include Château Cheval Blanc, Château Ausone, Château Angélus, and Château Pavie, all renowned for their exceptional quality and diverse expressions of Saint-Émilion's bold character.
