black purple-red color, spicy nose with dark plum, blueberry and blackberry, moss, the start of forest floor, on the palate quite tannic and undeveloped, primary fruit with moss notes and a bit of greenness from the Cab Franc, intense coffee notes, very long finish, this still needs to come together (and to my understanding will not be released for some years) but if this harmonizes as I hope- in time it will be very compelling.

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Seven (Bordeaux): A little funky with wood glue over black and red currant, sweet spice, straying towards the volatile with time in the glass. Plenty of chewy tannins derived from both oak and skins prove drying in. A little alcohol warmth on the finish. Meh.
