March 28, 2021 - The summer heat shows in this wine. So unfortunately this isn't one that escaped the cooked plum, overripe and under acidic features that affected so many Bordeaux wines. Clear browning on the rim with drying tannins. The faded fruit just leaves a moderate, average wine thats needs to be drunk. Paired with beef carpaccio and that's what lifted it somehow.
