91 Points

Sunday, December 12, 2021 - So this is more similar to the first bottle and very impressive. Mature ruby by color. The nose is terrific: true left bank Bordeaux - cassis, new leather - wow, the fruit really shines. Maybe a touch of mint. Palate follows - good maturity, some leather and earth. Maybe missing a bit in the middle - this keeps my rating from being higher. There is a tannic spine that emerges with air suggesting a drink now vibe before the fruit is overtaken. As good as it can be and a nice wine for Sunday dinner. (91)
