94 Points

Wednesday, January 5, 2022 - Paid next to nothing for this at an online auction. Should command at least third tier Bdx price.

Unexpectedly light red robe with almost nothing to suggest more than a five year old wine…

Nose is more than a bit premoxed, however also holds some beautiful notes of scorched Bdx earth.

In the mouth, the premox isn’t … there.
On the palate, this sings with beautiful red berries and a nice tannic claw. Roarrr!
Insted, this is a very sensitive (!) concoction.
It has everything in place: acidity, stone cold pure red fruit, small pure tannic claws and a tar component overshadowing any sensitive flowers.
Superlatively balanced with an amazing mouthfeel. The acids carry this wine well. A little longer finish and we would talk 97-ish.

Plus 1 point for being so darn unexpectedly alive.

Blnded, I would probably have ended up in Rome and Merlot…

Nevertheless, this wine still hqs a few decdes and I'd be happily obliged to participate in any and every wine tasting globally, that sports this tremendous wine.

This is a MEGA WOW ! !!
