Hubert de Bouard 'Silver Bell', Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, France 2009

A polished, modern Right Bank Bordeaux from a standout vintage. Ripe black cherry and plum lead, layered with cocoa, espresso, vanilla, and a hint of graphite. The palate is plush and silky, with rounded tannins, generous fruit, and a long, velvety finish. Confident and seductive, yet still balanced drinking beautifully now with just enough structure to remind you it’s serious wine.
