Wednesday, May 4, 2022 - Great value Haut- Medoc...this bottle is singing.
On nose: violets, stemmy medicinal notes( in a good way).
On palate:above flavours enhanced with a 2 hour decant.....an expansion of cigar tobbaco, cassis, forest floor,red plum flesh, and finish of Kona coffee and a ghost of rosemary, on a medium body of softening tannins, due in part to the 22% Petit Verdot, acting as a foil to the 47% Cabernet, and 31% Merlot....this wine is 8 years old, drinking well, with years to go....reminiscent of the 2018 Ch. Lanessan in passing.
