Expressif, fruits noirs, bouche ronde, du volume, tanins veloutés, finale un peu ferme, doit s’assouplir.

This is a medium bodied, round, easy drinking, soft textured, fruity charmer, which is already delicious in your glass. You can drink this on release or age it for a year or two.

The 2017 Cap St George is deep garnet-purple colored with an earthy nose of tilled soil, mossy bark and underbrush with a core of red and black plums. The palate is medium-bodied and just a little lean in the middle with a chewy frame and attenuated finish.

From the Janoueix stable, this is firm, bright and bristling in colour and flavour - an archetypal modern St-Émilion. It's not as successful in 2017 as in the recent past, as the character of the fruit is just a little too soft to support the oak, and it could do with a touch more light and air, but there's still plenty to enjoy. A well-made wine for medium-term drinking.

The 2017 Cap St. George is rich and fruity, with plenty of depth and palate presence. Blackberry jam, chocolate and spice notes add to an impression of darkness. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years.
