Sunday, January 29, 2017 - A perfect Bordeaux, perfectly ready! This and La Mission Haut Brian are probably our favorite wines from Bordeaux. Still almost opaque, with just the slightest hint of brown at the edges; very pronounced toasted cedar nose, with dark fruits and plums, elegant and complex. No mistaking that it's French! On the palate, plenty of rich, concentrated, viscous dark fruit and toasty oak, but very smooth and balanced. Tannins have resolved. Aftertaste sweet and long. We have a few more bottles, which should be consumed next 1-2 years.
