  4/10/2021 - El_Dougo Does not like this wine: 86 Points

  Sorry to say this was a let down.
  Color indephirable on account of dark restaurant.
  Nose was initially a nice Bordeaux blend of fruit and forest floor and vanilla but there was an intermittent waft of alcohol.
  Palate confirmed strong alcohol taste - quite off-balanced and great disappointment. Weak tanins to balance... Medium finish. It’s a shame because it could have been good...
  My guess is the 14% alcohol with weak tanins did them in.
  I would try another vintage in the hopes that the potential of these 100 year old vines might be realized.

  Belo blend de Cabernet Sauvignon (85%), Franc (10%) e Merlot com amadurecimento em barricas de carvalho durante 14 meses (apenas o CS).
  
  Bebido entre amigos no restaurante Boucherie, em 13/08/2019, sem notas de degustação.
