Bordeaux Trip 2018; 4/5/2018-4/6/2018 (Bordeaux, Fr): Nicely balanced, somm said it is 100% merlot which surprises me as there are herbal and minty notes. Soft and supple, just the right amount of acidity. Nice.

The Grand Tour - day four (Bordeaux): Rich, creamy, spicy with brooding dark fruit almost tending to fruit cake. Vanilla here as well as a savoury note. Juicy, slightly sharp blackberry and plum. Plentiful spice slight vanilla chocolate with fine, slightly gritty tannins get slightly savoury and sour with time.

We also were surprised to see that it's 100% Merlot. Finely balanced herbaceousness with elegant black fruit. Loved this bottle!

Chocolate, plum, charcoal on the palate. Quite a bit more tannic-y (and less silky) than I expected for such a high concentration of Merlot.

Good nose and an easy drinker, with lots of cherry and a touch of tartness. Not a very memorable wine, but perhaps time will help.
