2021 L`If (St-Emilion)
Secondary Description
Maritime or autumnal? There are estuarine notes of sea shell and iodine here, but also berry fruit, truffle, forest floor. Smooth, fine tannins, and a generous acidity that leads the wine`s roll-out along the palate. A mouth-filling finish and impressively long aftertaste. Everything is in place for a great wine.

Neal Martin
The 2021 L`If was a winner out of barrel. In bottle? It blossoms in the glass with pure black cherry, iodine, wilted violet and oyster shell scents, gaining momentum in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. There is a fluidity in the L`If that I really like - very harmonious and poised, gradually building with gentle grip toward the finish and residual black pepper on the aftertaste. Excellent. 94 points
