Soft, elegant, cherry notes on the nose. Tongue starts with fruit, ripeness, dark berry – blackberry, blueberry, and plum. The finish evolves and leans toward red berries – raspberry, cherry, and a hint of strawberry. Undertones of dark chocolate, tobacco, saddle leather, oak, a touch of pencil graphite. A little tight on opening, opens up over an hour or two.

Loose, lactic, a little boysenberry. Seems hot. Age appropriately tannic. Medium bodied. Short finish. 50 CS, 46M 4 , 14.5% ABV. Tasted at the chateau.

Overall this wine was quite straightforward. Very little complexity. Mostly fruit driven. Possessed round tannins. Lacked any kind of more complex savory or herbal notes. Just barely liked it.
Refined, soft, elegant, forward, sweet and with a red cherry and plum, tobacco and smoke infused character, the wine ends with a bright, fresh hit of sweet, red fruits.

Vintage Club - Bordeaux 2018 En-Primeur and Gala Dinner (Andaz Hotel): Flamboyant nose with plums and dried roses. Felt a bit light on the palate though, with a profile of strawberry, grass, and plums. Good freshness, but feels more like a “drink-now” wine
