89 Points

Friday, December 25, 2020 - Fully Mature (drink NOW), classically styled Bordeaux that is showing about as well as it can at this final stage of its life. Mostly tertiary aromas and flavors dominate strongly (leather, woody and tobacco leaf spices). Trace amounts of fruit left, which only show themselves after 90 minutes of decant. Tannins are fully resolved, HEAVY sediment at this point that is not settling, and a brick brownish color (logical given the sediment levels). Dry comfortable alcohol levels at 12.5%. Medium bodied, Quick finish but overall decently enjoyable. I would have preferred this 5-7 years ago where I believe it would have showed a truly balanced grace.
