  Tasted over 2 hrs
  -med dark red
  -somewhat lifted spicy red fruit wet stone
  -med/med+ acidity, med/med- weight nice density somewhat one-dimensional black cherry liqueur with some earth tones, finishes with some astringency accentuating the med tannins
  -overall quite nice with perhaps another year or two upside but not really up to 1er cru quality - suspect this is somewhat due to the vintage

  4/22/2022 - Teaky Likes this wine:

  Popped and poured over 3 hours for first hour had a bit of funk on the nose, after this floral notes and raspberry came out, flavors of rose water, raspberry at first a little woody (previous taster said smells of sandlewood but alas I don’t know what this tastes like, I didn’t get so much of a woody character on the nose, but more on the palate so may be a different character I’m noticing) making me think that stem inclusion occurred, a bit tannic with mild acidity, after a couple hours the funk goes away along with the woody characteristics and it becomes very primary in a good way, still floral with bramble and red cherry, saved some for day 2. I thoroughly enjoyed this on day one though.
  
  Day 2 and is much more expressive on the nose red fruits and floral, flavors are more earthy, red cherry hint of vanilla, not tannic anymore, has a velvety mouthfeel, quite nice on day 2 making me think this will age well. Monopole.

  Transparent ruby color. Cherry, blueberry, pomegranate, leather, sandalwood, lavendar and nutmeg on the nose. When very flat was PnP but the wine gets the original form in a moment. Nothing special on the nose, on the other hand the acidity and structure are quite profound for its early stage. I like its solid foundation and consistency. Vigorous and yet acute. Alc. 13%
