  Sometimes one is amazed.
  Got to admit I wanted to use this wine for a Brassato but I stopped and got another bottle for this purpose.
  The bouquet is nicely old school Bordeaux, some cassis, slight truffles and good acidic backbone.
  Not a great wine but aged gracefully.

  cork broken. Low expectations, they were exceeded, even though the wine can not compete with bottles of bigger names. Colour: starting to lose translucitidy. smell: very present, strong of tertiary aroma. smelled a little too much of animal stables. Taste: more fruit than in the nose, tannins still present and after 30 minutes of opening, acidity became more apparent and the finish shorter. A little too austere for my taste but value is very good though at around 30 EUR.

  Russk. WOTN at Pablo's CDC. In 1/2 bottle. Just was you would expect a good mature Haut Medoc to taste like. Called it blind as such. Nice barnyard. Medium bodied. Savory.
