  An easy afternoon with close friends; Bordeaux 2015 (@ FD): Beautiful bouquet, dark and red berries, beautifully dosed oak, bacon and a bit rustic. On the palate very juicy black berries like blackberries, beautiful acidity, a light touch of sweetness and round tannin with a good bite. Already delicious and a feast, but plenty of future. Fantastic wine!

  Pop and pour! Absolutely delicious! No decant, but I will echo what’s been said: short life, drank bottle with 1.5 hours and the best was in the beginning. Medium body, fruits, dark.
  
  It paired perfectly with Camembert cheese, bagget, dry Italian salami. It was a wonderful experience. Drink or hold. Was it worth $100+ ? That’s relative. For me it absolutely was.

  When I opened I was excited, nice sweet bordeaux blend nose. 2 hours later the palate was weak. Don't get me wrong, it was decent. The merlot/cab franc is nice but.. thin. In this price range you expect more. It may be my palate, but give me a Nickel & Nickel state ranch cab for $20.00 less, or a high end Andrew Will blend, and you get way more bang for your money, richness, depth and better quality. I'm done experimenting with bordeaux at a $100.00 + a pop.

  4th of 12. Pop and pour, exuberant, ripe, dark and delicious. Semi Napa clearly warm vintage. Medium length, possibly a bit short, like life.

  Picked up this bottle from Total Wines, 1hr decant, drank half of the bottle over 2hrs period, giving the wine good enough time in the glass as well.
  
  Color is medium red, as expected from primarily Merlot blend. Close to 8 years but still lots of color.
  
  On the nose, I got mostly fruits, nice black fruits and hints of casis, nothing more (for now). I don't drink a lot of Pomerol(s) so take my score of 92 with a grain of salt.
  
  On the palate, the wine is well balanced with grainy tannins but doesn't hurt the palate. I think if I give this wine 4 to 5 more years, these tannins will/may rich silkiness that I love.
  
  To me finish is not as strong. I hoped for better for a 100$+ bottle.
  I recommend trying this bottle again in 4 to 5 years. Enough there to keep me interested.
