  July 25, 2017 - Color: thick blood red hues with slightly lighter, purple tinge. Slight translucency.
  Nose: light - rvery slight red fruits up front, quickly overtaken by wooden, leather earthiness.
  Flavor: elegant balance of fruit and earth on the front - bitter dark cherry, couples with, leathery, viney, oaky earthiness, topped with cracked black pepper. Chalky tannins emerge by the middle - not necessarily harsh -
  and really carry on throughout. Finish is pretty smooth and linger is a good minute or more thanks to the tannins. Medium bodied and dry.
  
  A very well balanced Bordeaux that has fantastic QPR ($20). Aerated when served which is advised and let sit an hour or so before serving to let the tannins mellow out. Sit on a few more years or drink now. Will go out and get a case of this; a definite must to have in the cellar.
