France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Francs Côtes de Bordeaux
Very pretty earthy cherries on the nose and some elements of floral smell. On the palate dark fruits, smooth with very powerful mid-palate and medium long finish. The wine of the tasting for me.
Clearly californian nose. Good fruity taste, with a hint of asian spices. Had a bit of that fake taste and slightly too sweet for me, but not bad. (This was "California" Cab, not Napa)
Fruity and spicy with some bitterness, likely Californian. Also some coffee and caramel on the palate. Long finish, clearly not cheap but not great either. 88-89+

This was a puzzle for me, not really Cali but also not Bdx? A bit of earthiness and dark fruit with spicy medium+ finish. 86-87
