A solid core of ripe fruit and spice here. It’s full-bodied, creamy and chewy. Pretty fruit at the end.

The 2019 Sérilhan, attired in a very chic blue label now, conveys real quality on the nose with well defined blackberry, cedar and sous-bois aromas that seem very pure and nuanced. The palate is ripe and succulent on the entry, yet there are genuinely very fine tannins here, lending this Saint-Estèphe a silky texture à la 2016 and a persistent, gratifying finish. Bon vin!
First year as Cru Bourgeois Superieur, and what a tough year to take advantage of this new classification. But this clearly shows why it deserves it - grip, freshness, blueberry and raspberry fruits layered up with charcoal and gentle smoke. There is austerity, and quite a serious amount of tannin, although they are flexible and silky in style. Alain Raynaud is new consultant at the estate. Drinking Window 2025 - 2038
