In a quiet phase, the nose is subdued, but the balance and mouth feel superb. Wonderful claret in terms of pleasure just not as aromatically distinct. Of course we finished the bottle ASAP so put that in your calculation.

From a 375ml bottle. 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot in this Paiillac wine. Garnet color. Very grapey and youthful tasting. Notes of chocolate, plums and mint. This got some big scores from the advocate and Suckling (94 & 95) so give this time to see if it can get there. 90+ points.

Nose of mint, anise, eucalyptus, little Bordeaux funk, leather and a little oak. On the palate medium-full bodies, supple tannins, slightly acidic, some blue fruits, and currant and blackberry, long finish. Tasted over 2 days. Really enjoyed this one.

Decanted for 2 hours. Very tight and austere, fruit is ungenerous. Gravelly mineral note on the palate. Hard to read, alcohol not integrated. Tannins surprisingly polished, but still astringent. Personally, I felt that this was not ready.

Mint, cabernet, complex great nose. Weight and some chewy tannins. great balance. Needs some age 2-3 years. Bought some for the cellar.
