ROL VALENTIN [ST. EMILION] 2012 750ML

91 Points- Wine Advocate. 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. A saturated ruby/purple color and dense black cherry and plum-like fruit pushing ripeness to the limit, on the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied, pure, ripe and nicely textured, with soft, round tannins. This is a very successful effort from Rol Valentin that can be approached early on or drunk over the following 10-15 years.
