Portland Seth Likes this wine: 94 points
June 30, 2019 - Out of the bottle this was almost undrinkable, so tart and green, but after breathing for 4 hours it started to sing. Blackberry, creme de cassis, cedar, vanilla and oregano. Good depth of fruit without being heavy, nice lift and very fine tannins. The oak is deftly balanced and the finish is smooth. Should age very elegantly.

I had better stop reading your notes. I thought of you the other day when I opened a '16 Calon-Segur for my edification. The tannins are not as fine grained as PC, but it was a '16 I think you might like: lots of tobacco and gravel.
