Young and more tannic with fruit. Good start will improve.

-- decanted for 45 min. before initial taste --
-- tasted blind over 3.75 hrs on Day 1; revisited on Days 2 and 3 --
NOSE: Day 1: deeper-pitched and earthier than #5 (2020 Pedesclaux); no funk or pencil shavings; tight; purple-fruited; most overt oak of the three; more similar to #9 (2020 Malescot) than to #5; light Ajwain seed. Day 2: very tight --- even moreso than on Day 1. Day 3: very dark, purple-red, fruits finally emerging.
BODY: magenta-violet color of medium-deep depth; medium bodied.
TASTE: Day 1: tight; a bit tannic (moreso than #5); quite tight @ 1.25 hrs. open mark; some bitter florals; still tannic at 4.5 hrs open mark, with oaky/austere tannins. On Day 1, this is the odd one out, in the sense that it’s clearly the “darkest” of the three --- this one being purple-fruited, earthy & tannic, whereas the other two are more red-fruited and less tannic. Day 2: dark; earthy; tight/closed. Day 3: Here we go! – lots of wet stones mineral; purple-fruited (black currants); still tight, but now opening-up to a meaningful extent, and now possibly my favorite of the three. Requires time in the cellar.

WSET2 Course Notes; 10/22/2023-11/5/2023 (WineHouse, Los Angeles): Appearance: Deep ruby.
Nose: Medium+ intensity. Vanilla is the most pronounced note. Cassis, blackberry. Coffee becomes more apparent as you look deeper. Earthy character.
Palate: Dry, medium+ acidity, high and velvety tannin, full body, medium+ acidity. Green bell pepper, surprisingly. Blackberry jam. Warm and spiced long finish.
9/18. Very, very good.

Another tannic Pauillac which I found hard to decipher as the fruit is well hidden at the moment.
