2001 Quinault l'Enclos - Saint-Emilion, Bordeaux, France

2007 April - Impressive nose of elegant currant and soft spices flavours. Lightly smoked / toasted.
The wine fills up the palate with a beautiful roundness. Elegant black currants with layers of creamy fruit. In spite of its velvety side, the wine's structure remains under strain thanks to the tightness of its tannins. Slightly hollow midpalate but the finish widens beautifully. 2001 Quinault l'Enclos is a modern styled Saint-Emilion and a nice wine to drink at this stage.
