Nicely done new world Bordeaux, with striking fruit and Bordeaux savory characteristics.

A little sedimented and ruddy.
Some pencil lead, cedar, currant.
Smooth and full.
Pleasantly surprising finish.

Beautiful aromatics, flowers and pipe tobacco. Dark blue fruits, cool ash and graphite. Grippy tannins and bold finish. Bit of a hole between mid palate and finish. Great BDX value. Needs time. Will wait 5 years before opening another.

Another nice bottle on PnP. Has that certain something dark, shiny, glossy appearance. Very fine, classy, suave fruit nose. Rich and full fruit in the mouth, too. This is delicious now, probably even better with more bottle age, I it is so tasty now it is tough to keep my hands off it. 5-12-17-8: 92/100.
