Bordeaux: Second wines in great vintages. (Valuas): In the bouquet a beautifully developed wine with autumn, mushrooms and earthy flavors. On the palate oak, earth, bell pepper, rustic impressions and good acidity. A mature, complex and still lovely wine. Ready now, but no extreme hurry.

During a Commanderie de Bordeaux bin end event. Nose of red fruit quite a bit oak in the foreground, probably too much oak treatment for what the fruit was. Tannins are still a touch rough with a greenish touch. The green touch on the other side blends in nicely with the other aromas. Goes well with food. Drink up.

Still doing quite well. Similar to my last note with great mature notes, red fruit, black fruit. Medium body, good acidity, moderate tannnic structure. Needs a quick decant. Tannins are slightly drying, so I would drink up in the next few years.
