A nice, sapid, medium-weight, youngish Bdx for hamburgers. Plenty of fresh cassis fruit, good balance, and, what others describe as brett and barnyard, I read as Merlot character pushing through. I wish I had more to track through the coming years. Fine casual drinking.

Dinner at Jims - An open that bottle night (Jim's): Past the drinking window but still slightly hanging in there. Developed more as the evening progressed. Paled in comparison to other wines on the table. Maybe prematurely age due to storage but I would not hold on to it any longer if I had any.

Cassis and leather on the nose with lots of dark fruit leather and barnyard on the well balanced palate. Lengthy finish. Acidity pairs well with steak.

Classic muted cassis and barnyard nose. Dark fruits, soft acidity and integrated modest tannins make for a very smooth drinking Pauillac.
