Favorite of the Bordeaux tasting. On the nose, bananas, honey, a little petrol, oily, metallic. On the palate, bananas, tropical fruits, honey, creamy vanilla, medium acidity, great finish.
Least favorite of the Bordeaux tasting. Aromatically challenged. Hint of black cherries, black pepper, oak and hot on the nose. On the palate, very disjointed. Red berries, black cherries, and too much oak. Hot on the finish. Very high acidity and low tannins that and not enough fruit to balance this. Weak effort.
First vintage of this wine. Aromatically challenged. Hint of red berries and a little barnyard on the nose. On the palate, sour cherries, decent acidity, medium finish, very simple.
Green bell pepper on the nose and palate which, although a sign of unripe grapes, I like quite a lot and does not overpower the bouquet. Also, black cherries and dark chocolate. On the palate, green bell pepper, black cherries, a little oak, super long finish, great tannin structure.
On the nose, cassis, black cherries, espresso. On the palate, coffee beans, black cherries, medium finish, smooth and mellow. Probably won't get much better with more cellaring. Has developed secondary characteristics of an aged wine but lacking enough fruit to make this enjoyable.
On the nose, honeysuckle, white flowers, bananas. On the palate, botrytis bomb, honeysuckle, very rich and creamy, medium finish. Where is the acidity on this? Cloying and very heavy with no appreciable acidity to balance the sugars.
