France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux
very dark magenta / verging on violet nose - smoky and creamy oak mouth - dark plums and red berries. Smooth mouthfeel yet still quite tannic. Could use some time in bottle.
nose - pungent nose of smoke, mesquite, and roasted meat. This is the most distinctive nose of the evening - is it from the barrel treatment?? mouth - cornucopia of red and dark fruits, almost fruit punch like, yet fully dry. Considerable tannins. Already showing very well.
nose - toasty oak. mouth - light red fruit. i did not appreciate the spiciness that was touted. One of the more expensive wines of the night , yet paradoxically to me seemingly lacking in complexity.

nose - strawberry, candied, a touch vegetal. Juicy fruit in the mouth
