Consistent with previous note, with the exception that the fruit seems a bit more pronounced, in a good way.

2018 Château La Cardonne

Decanted for several hours prior to tasting.
Dark purple color; blackberry nose.
Very nicely balanced, with luscious black fruit, cedar pencil, and a bit of acidity. Nice effort.

Decanted for three hours practice tasting.

Inky dark purple color.
Rich mouthfeel with velvety soft tannins; this one is an outstanding example of a perfectly aged claret. Wonderfully integrated with layers of delicious black fruit, supported by interesting secondary and tertiary flavors. Consistent over two bottles.

This one is really outstanding!

1/10/2017 2:57:00 AM - Thank you for the comment on 2015 Quinta dos Carvalhais Encruzado Dão. As I have a few bottles left just curious do you recall if it was decanted and roughly what sort of temp you were served? My last two bottles seemed closed...
