  A birthday at Bouchon Racine, London (Bouchon Racine, London): Young and every so dark fruited, juicy ripe, soft oaky dynamic, spice and although round and polished still ever so fruit driven. Maybe a touch of tomato but mostly dark fruits and this now is starting to show a bit of secondary and savoury side, fpgive this more time unless rich fruit is what one enjoys. 91-92 for now but full of promise.

  Difficile de le juger après VSU 1960 et Figeac 2000.
  Clairement trop jeune, il me semble même s’être refermé vs la bouteille bue en 2022.
  Très frais et droit, il était forcément dans un autre registre que les vins dégustés avant.
  A revoir mais devrait tenir ses promesses.

  Opened and decanted 3 hours ahead of seared pork loin, roasted potatoes, and blueberry-spinach salad. Purple-crimson color. Expressive nose brings warm gingerbread, purple lavender, potpourri, olive brine, pencil lead, and wild herbs. The palate is medium, square, compact, and extremely textured, bringing a juicy core of blueberries, blackberries, and huckleberries with campfire, bloody beef chili, and crushed chalk notes smashing into a hard tannic wall on the finish. This is still primary but has extraordinary potential based upon its depth, viscosity, and overall frame. Drink 2027-2037. Technical score: 94. Enjoyment score: 92.

  Delicious wine - needs more time in the bottle. Lovely floral violet aromas with concentrated blackberry, black cherry and tons of pepper. Great structure with medium + acid, medium silky tannins and the same concentrated black fruit. Some tertiary notes of earth and forest floo. This will be even more delicious in a few years.

  Really smooth and open from the start but time brought out complexities. Dark berry, smoke, olive brine, mineral, game, and a nice floral/lavender lift. This will age a long time but surprised by how open it is now. Put up a good fight but the 2017 Allemand Reynard bested it with freshness.
