Lavender and mint on the nose. Opened up a little but this really isn’t ready yet. The fruit and structure is a bit hard and it’s just generally too much. No huge cause for concern, but think this will shine when properly mature. Leave for minimum 5 years.

After an hour of air it turns into a beautiful, balanced left bank bordeaux.

This is drinking beautifully. Deep and complex, cigar box, violets and dark crushed red fruit.

From Chateau. Smokey meat, raspberry jam on nose. Fig compote, blackberry, forest floor. Long finish. Enjoy.
