Sunday, July 2, 2023 - This is totally in character and teaching you what a Bordeaux is supposed to look, smell, and taste like. Those who smoke know that there’s tobacco , and then there’s fine Cuban tobacco that has that funky, pungent, commitment requirement that you can only enjoy by totally letting go and being in the moment. This is the rusticity that gruaud captures and puts forth vintage after vintage. Mouthful of smoldering tobacco, chocolate, earthy and herbaceous with notes of red bell peppers and tilled soil. A savory devil that always aims at the Bordeaux purists heart for a steal of a price. This has just entered its pleasure zone with years to go. Drink or Hold
