Nose was powerful black berries, floral, dried cherry, dried plum, spices, sour fruitness, oyster. Palate was strong tannin, low sourness, high sweetness. I could feel that this was the wine of high quality, possibly the best bordeaux blend wines i've had. However me and my wife suspected some TCA, and also we prefer high quality pinot in general as well.

Nose, very strong mineral (almost blood like), ok fruit, slight mint, herbs, bay leaves, slight sour dough bread, slight nutty Palate, good saltiness, good umami, good sourness and sweetness well balanced, surprisingly pleasant buttery finish, bit of a bitterness, long finish. After one day, nose grew with milkiness, butterness, but still too strong mineral.
