Nicely balanced rendition of a right bank Bordeaux. This seemingly has more Cab Franc which alters the profile a bit, for the better in my opinion. Lots of fruit on the palate with some secondary earthy notes.

I should have headed my own advice from my last note. An hour in the decanter did little to open this up. Did not have the aromatics I would have expected from a cab franc heavy wine. Blue fruits were a bit muted. Didn’t change much with time in the glass. I don’t know how to read into this wines future. It didn’t seem to have the density or richness of past vintages. It did not perform as well as my last bottle from six months prior

Blue and black fruit is complicated by notes of wild herbs, black tea and underbrush. Elegant and linear. I like the texture, but it seems to be lacking some depth compared to its peers at that price point. Enjoyable.

Not terrible but not great I couldn’t get passed the finish on this wine. It was indescribable. I know this isn’t too helpful of a review.
