September 29, 2020 - Bordeaux 2019 from barrel (From various locations, finally putting together these wine reviews): Pristine fresh red and black fruit aromas precede a palate smooth and dense, very fruit driven but with a cool blue fruit aspect on the long finish. This is the first vintage since the estate hired the talented wine consultant Eric Boissenot, highlighting greater elegance in style, which is very welcome. A blend of nearly 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, just over 41% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc, the wine is aging in 65% new French oak. Furthermore, the excellent quality from this producer is getting increasingly noticed by merchants worldwide for its price/quality ratio (just over $30 per bottle in the U.S.), so buy it while that lasts. 😉 93-95 Crus et Domaines de France tasting

9/30/20, 4:47 AM - I’ll need to double check as Millesima USA NY has it for 37.50 (tax excluded). So maybe “just under $40” more accurate... about to fly so I’ll check again and correct.
