  Surprisingly soft and lush at this age. Very drinkable and enjoyable with layered dark fruit and a good bouquet of Bordeaux classic.

  The aroma on this wine is very nice, earthy, dark fruits, some savory notes, a slight pleasing floral note.
  On the palate, tannin is very high, everything else is relatively balanced. So much better than the 2018. Alc at 14.5% and well masked.

  Bought 4 of these with the intent to age 3. Sampling this now as baseline.
  
  Decanted for 4 hours, which was very necessary. Very closed at first.
  
  Nose includes blackberry, plum, bell pepper, earth, tobacco.
  
  On the palate it’s more black fruit along with oak, leather, and clove.
  
  Long finish, medium+ tannin, medium acidity, medium body.
  
  Look forward to seeing how this ages and if the earth notes come forward more. They’re pretty vague at this stage.

  A little closed compared to last bottle six months ago. Decanted and took five hours to open up. Cassis, dark fruit, spice, earth, and quite tannic. This wine begs for food! Needs a little more time to soften and balance out. This is a good wine at a reasonable price and I’ve added a few bottles to the cellar.
