Darker violet with ruby rim; compressed nose of red and dark fruit, earth, tobacco, green pepper, chocolate, and incense under a thin veil of new oak and slight reduction gives way to a palate that overperforma for its price, the black fruit with red accents, leather, black tea, incense, earth and tobacco filled palate is more than just shallow flavors of Pessac, this has nice weight and richness to it containing all of the umami one wants in a Bordeaux 3x the price, while the delineation has not begun and this is drinking really well now it will definitely age longer but I’m not sure it has lots of improvements in that future, why wait- drink over the next 5 but good enough to stock up in the meantime and pop corks regularly.

Decanted for 4 hours. Loosened up nicely , but still a muddled finish.
