Magenta in the glass with long legs that take more than a minute to run down. Very dense and concentrated with nice gripping tannins and a tart acidity that pierces the tongue.
Plum, blueberry, tobacco, cedar & spice on the palate this is a well-structured wine that's balanced, fresh and invigorating.
If drinking now a decant of 60-90 minutes is necessary (perhaps longer), but the reward is there if you have patience to hold another 2-5 years for everything to come together when it will be magnificent.
92+ right now with the decant; 94+ in the future. Excellent Pauillac for the $$$ that punches above its weight class. I think I got this at Costco for around $40 and at that price it's a steal. I will buy more of these to stash away until 2026-2029.

Good fruit but very little aromatics and overall underwhelming.

This was really really good. Lots of intense waves of fruit with high extraction. Still quite a bit of oak to shed (blinded, I thought it was a 19) but rich and polished like a Lynch Bages or Mouton. Good slate minerals, too. Impressive and this will live a very long time.

Blue fruited and deep, this is par for the course in 2018 and brings it on in all counts, fruit, minerality, and depth. Really lush for the mark, and rather soft and easy to drink with mid term aging promise. Its as if this should have been labeled 2009. Easy to understand and delicious to drink now and or HOLD_
