Sunday, April 2, 2023 - Ten 2019 Left Bank Offerings: Healthy Coravin pour, left to breathe for a few hours. Tasted alongside the same vintage Duhart-Milon.

Always a pleasure to cross paths with a Left Bank offering that delivers such terroir-driven substance.

Air allowed terroir to come forward in expressive waves. Blackcurrant, with blackberry accents, violets, cut tobacco, long since discarded railroad tie, covered by sous-bois and moss. Hell Yes!!!

And...it gets better!!! This wine brings it...a whole lot of it!!! The juicy and bracing middle grips and holds on. All this substance reaches a crescendo at the back, with fully ripe, gritty tannins showing prominently. Wholly compelling finish of un-clockable length.

This exceeded expectations. After the same vintage Pontet-Canet, the second highest quality Left Bank wine tasted to date. Notably more substantive than the Duhart-Milon.

A wine to cellar for at least fifteen years. 94-95.
