Melted plastics, honeysuckled, aged white savory tones with a small stream of soy sauce or white wine vinegary undertones. Still dry but shows an impression of sweetness. Nose is not very generous.
Dense dark cherries. Fruit forward but does have the bosomy fruits to show and it is not afraid to display it out. Almost felt like a bit of merlot was added in the mix. Round and dark juicy wine.
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Scented sandalwood and spicy but dark floral lifted nose. At first, alc shows but needed time to settle down and does exhibit typical bordeaux charaacteristics though a modern styled one. Good fine silky tannins. Cool fresh dark fruits with pretty nicely integrated oak. Lots of earth, truffles and herbs lingers. 75% cocoa dark chocolate finish.
Perfumed dark liliac petals, spicy with nutmeg and dried herbs. Dark cherries almost sappy . V intense fruti but all nicely kept in a firm structured package. Finishes almost peppery and brambly.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny
Some sweet dried but spicy flowers but mostly earthy funky barn notes. Kinda alc . Almost balanced. Fresh acid, quite intense fruits with a rusty edge. Stewed strawberries and cherries with sweet dates showing. I would have guessed more vosne or gevrey-chambertin than chambolle.

Spiced white florals. Quite a full nose. Delightful with a tone of seriousness. Spiced lychees and poached pears. Not too bad.
