Tasted from magnum. Aerated from within bottle for 5 hours. Drinking very nicely. Nose very rustic with some berry aromas. Palate was very well integrated, very mellow and firm. Not too complex. Tannins were chalky and fine. Finish lasted quite long. The wine did not last too long in contact with the air and became slightly disintegrated after 20 mins in the glass. Nice wine but would have passed it's drinking window if not for the large format.

5 Cabernet and Bordeaux Reds tasted. Had a nice Bordeaux nose of forward fruit followed by hints of earth and cherry on the nose, taste of more cherry fruit in the mouth, medium body and medium finish with hints of pepper. 4th place, Group #3.

Pauillac, lacks complexity, but it does have gobs of sweet fruit and offers immediate appeal
