Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Burwood): From Coravin. A little touch of farmyard for the first time, meaty over brambly black fruit, sweet spice polished oak, smidge of alcohol prickle. Juicy tends to medium plus intensity acidity, brambles, cassis, blackcurrant, plums, a little savoury undergrowth, drying, chewy, coarse flour textured tannins underpin this, bit of black liquorice and almost soy here, The farmyard funk does not translate here. Yum.

Young but exceptional. From 375 ml. Salinity, depth, complexity. This is the full package. Ideally needs another ten years for its window to open but plenty to enjoy now

Superb purity of fruit and balance, for a wine so young this is as good as it gets, I hope to be drinking these in twenty years time

Beautiful ruby inky color,
Nose of mushroom and sous-bois.
On the palate, plums, black cherries and blackcurrant with juicy, fleshy, and chewy tannins.
Medium to long finish.
Pretty closed and all about the fruit at the moment.
If you have some in the cellar, keep it for another 5 years.

Three years ago, I have rated it a 90 by now (Dec 2023) has improved a lot and opened up. It does deserve a 93.
