Sunday, April 9, 2023 - Three 2018 Left Bank Wines: Drank over a long afternoon and evening.
Lifted bouquet of promising typicity. Nothing stands out, yet all as it should be. Quite restrained for such a warm vintage offering.
Purple and blackberries dominate, along with pyrazines and graphite. Somewhat sappy middle, which shows a certain bitterness. This element turns prominent at the back and leads to a rather pinched finish. Solid, yet the greenish bite detracts from the whole.
A few years might round this out a touch.
