Earthy notes, stable and glue. Palate had something I couldnt stop thinking of but reminds me of a Dr Pepper - black currant and cola. Harsh tanins, needs a couple of years to come to its right.

Sappy nose. Deep and clear color. Fruitful pleasurable palate with spice. After on hour some secondary tobacco notes. Had this with a cheesesteak ala Donkey's Place and tiramisu.

Medium-bodied, finesse styled, forward, soft, cherry filled wine with nuances of licorice and tobacco leaf on the nose and palate. Fresh, fruity and spicy, give it an hour in the decanter or a few years in the cellar and it is ready to go.

Pomerol picks mid and high range in 2016 from bottle (Pomerol): So here we come to a rather pricy wine from bottle – or a brand that has gotten pricier but that still – and in 2016 especially – is well worth your $50 retail while. Why? The blend of 96% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, from vines grown on gravely soil over fine clay, yields a gorgeous and floral and elegant wine. It lacks the depth of the bigger boys that cost four or five times as much, but oh so smooth and refined. Buy this Pomerol with confidence, as it will get better in bottle. By the way, my from barrel review ranges between 92-94 points, but this deserves 94+ easily, from bottle! Alcohol is 14%.

Floral aromatics with ripe red and black fruit. Quite savory and fresh on the attack, albeit – again – with serious notes of tannin. Never drying, but rather imposing... Lock it away for 10 years. It should be quite nice! 92-94

BYOB - Bordeaux Red, Finewines.se (Sollentuna, Sweden): Milkchocolate, minty, eucalyptus, roasted oak. A bitternes in the finish that I found off. Tannins and acidity are both on the higher scale.

A finesse styled, early drinking charmer, fruit forward, soft, polished with a plummy cherry core and a dash of cocoa in the finish.
