Drank from a half bottle. Thus may be a little more forward.
One the nose Plum, black fruit, heat tannin. Dark ruby colour. After double decant earthy notes become evident.
Early on taste was dominated by supple tannins. A little flabby and unstructured but that is to be expected with the vintage. Overwhelming notes of dark fruits and well rounded finish of plums and cedar. It is oaky and a little diluted. Clarity and precision is limited.
After an hour of decant it was spicy, juicy and fragrant. Whether it improved for the time is debatable but what is evident is there is something for everyone in this wine. Finally after many hours was cherry violet and oak dominating. This wine will hold but probably not for more than 5+ years
Enjoyable introduction at the price point to the upper echelons or saint-emilion, enjoyable let leaves you wanting for more!

375ml. 1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Nose has massive oak, with some floral and vanilla tones. Wine is on the younger side. More oak and vanilla on the palate with limited fruit and more medicinal flavors. Medium minus finish. More Napa than Bordeaux. The Wife enjoyed it more than me - 9.6 vs. my 9.3, so take that into account :)
Happy Christmas Eve!!

Dobré ale stále není hotové.
Tvrdé, neharmonické.
V porovnání s 2009 velký rozdíl.
Počkat
