Decent nose, typical bordeaux. Quite closed, and tannins very present. Despite opening, probably 1h30 min prior to drinking didn't open it. A bit disappointed. Will wait at least a year or so for next bottle

Modern, with structure and density in abundance. A very aromatic merlot that gives way to the heaviness of the CS in the mouth, insurmountable tannins and an enormous length. Monotonic and boring. Certainly it's not the St. Estephe type I pay real attention to.
Moderno, con estructura y densidad a raudales. Una merlot muy aromática que cede el paso ante la pesadez de la cabernet en boca.Taninos infranqueables y una longitud descomunal. Monótono y aburrido. No es el tipo de St. Esteban al que presto verdadera atención.

At this early stage difficult to predict where this bottle will go. Dark fruit, liquorice, herbal notes, sous-bois and a rim of spices and mentholic aromas. Medium bodied, with a good acidity balance this is a well crafted left bank. If you can wait, then don't open before 2030, as this vintage has a lot in store...

Fruity, forward, medium bodied, spicy, round and easy drinking, there is a nice blast of ripe cassis and cigar box in the finish.

UCGB tasting Bordeaux 2016 (Beurs van Berlage, Amsterdam.): Red berries, well dosed oak, elegant and juicy acidity as well as some pleasant bitterness. 90+ for today.
