  August 14, 2016 - Very concentrated clear ruby core, slight thinning at the edges. Not cloudy or bricking. Sultry nose of creme de cassis, black cherry, sweet black licorice and rose petals. Initially, a little uptight with coarse tannins up front and no real fruit detectable. 30 minutes in, the tannins are much softer and subdued and the fruit is beginning to puff out its chest. An hour thirty, the tannins are fully integrated across the palate; the fruit is as pronounced as possible. The aroma is still very powerful; flavors are clean with ripe black fruits and a pinch of grains of paradise along the sides. Overall, very classical and well built Bordeaux.
