Black w crimson highlights as viewed upon backlit spin - ready complex nose of blackberry and black cherry along with cacoa powder and peppermint and fresh flowers too - perfume lifts even higher intraorally where the aromas and flavors are buoyed by regally fine sandy tannins and ample acids helping keep everything crisp and focused. Bests Larcis Ducasse’s ‘18 also enjoyed recently.

Served blind. This was the youngest wine at our tasting but was drinking well at this young age. I previously had the 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005 and 2009 vintages of this Right Bank wine and this bottle fell in the middle of those qualitatively. A dry medium bodied wine. Notes of black olives, iron and raspberry. Firm tannins. An earthy finish. 92 points.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Double blind. Raspberry, herb and plum notes. Black fruit and chocolate on the palate; nicely ripe but not overdone. Excellent. (V&M)

A great wine but not as fun to drink as it was a year ago. Lost the joyous baby fat and beginning to tighten up as it enters transition. Double Decanted 5 hours , maybe was a mistake.

Young with moderate tannic structure. Good fruit profile and I suspect waiting 4-5 years will be kind to this wine.
