  1/16/2022 - Jonne Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Välpolerat och välbalanserat med en hel del frukt i behåll och något fatrostad smak. Aningen mylla i doften påminner om de 21 åren. Verkligen inget fyrverkeri men trevligt att dricka till både julskinkepytt och på egen hand.

  The nose seems mature, a little musty and a touch of oxidation. Cork was 50% soaked. On the palate it’s short. This seems more like a cru bourgeois from the mid 90s or even late 80s. Some very Bordeaux qualities so good but not where you would expect the wine to be for it’s clsssification.

  Coravin tasting. Seems better than a few days ago. Nose has medium intensity, nice on the palate. Fruit and oak however short finish, a little thin. Had it with Gouda this name, so maybe that improved it.

  Coravin tasting. Nose is classic Bordeaux. Some obvious oak, even American oak. On the palate it's oak, a little fruit but quite thin. Like water on the finish. Ok on its own but can't see this standing up to food. Seems like a petit chateau Bordeaux with oak but no real substance.

  some brambly merlot fruit, very soft but tired and drying out somewhat. Boring and nowhere near 1e cru standard...
