October 30, 2021 - The nose has sweetness and shows black currant,black cherry,dark chocolate,licorice,graphite and some floral scents.On the palate,delectable fruit,but it is cloaked in a wall of very harsh tannins.Short finish,and in general it lacks depth and excitement.I don't see a great future here.Disappointing.

There will of course be development,but in which direction ? In my opinion there is a problem of balance and my experience of Bordeaux tells me that this wine will always remain very tannic,even in 10 - 20 years.But I am not Nostradamus,and maybe I'm wrong. -
