Perfect day to drink it. It is luscious and full of ripe black fruits, chocolate, and fig, with a well developed bouquet. The tannins have transformed into velvet, and a perfect balance of acidity and body to leave a long, earthy finish. Beautiful wine, perfect age for it.

Impressive nose, perfumed, dark fruits. However falls rather flat on the palate, still getting limestone minerality, as well as tertiary notes of leather, but not getting much else.

This never really came around. Rather shy nose. Sour cherry palate. Oak influence on the finish. Tannins were rather dry and a bit coarse. Just didn’t step up to the pedigree.

Lots of leather, cedar, tobacco aromas and flavors. Limited fruit smell or flavors. Very dry. There is still some tannin left.

A creamy jammy open and direct Bord, well rounded body and showing a non major year coming into its drinking window nicely
