This wine is dark purple in color. Decanted for an hour. Wet stone on the nose. Blackberry across the palate. As it finishes, it’s slate and hints of vanilla. Great acidity and tannins. It’ll be good for another decade. Later in the evening, a bit more character with added layers of herbs and stone.

Deep purple. A very young despite 7 years have lapsed. Medium plus aroma intensity. Primary fruits - blackberries and red strawberries. Wet stone and mineral. Nice acidity. Good balance. Medium-full body. Good tannins. Layered. Good finish. Vanilla and buttery. 91+.

Deep garnet colour to the edges. Not powerful on the nose. Some dried fruit and earthiness. On the palate, dry, well balanced with solid acidity and smooth tannins. Nuances of dried fruit and cedar. Long finish with vanilla and cedar.
Great paring with beef tenderloin basted with herb butter.

Tasted this at the Chateau Lagrange Wine Dinner with Mattieu Borders at Famous Treasure hosted by Infinite Supply.
A vibrant wine. Exciting and has lots of potential.
Consider to revisit in 10 years time.
