  Textbook Bordeaux scent, cassis, dark berry compott, root veggies, topinambour and olives. Coffee and dark chocolate in taste.
  
  SHIT SCALE (1-5)
  Sour: 2
  Heavy: 4
  Intense: 2
  Tannic: 2
  
  Well balanced, just lacks a bit of intensity to go above 90! Drink now.

  8/24/2022 - Snowey Likes this wine:

  Opened up over an hour. Had at bazaar restaurant in Luxembourg for team dinner. Really nice.
  Started out a bit acidic and tannic but over time the fruit started to shine (or my taste buds became calibrated).
  
  Love these value aged Bordeaux superior

  No decant. Smooth and balanced with secondary flavours of underbrush, earthy roots, cedar, dark chocolate and plumb notes. Mostly merlot in profile. Lovely balance sexy and smooth. In a zone right now. Great balance but not an overly long finish. Peaking and will be great for another 2 years or so. Excellent for the vintage.

  From clay and limestone soils, this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is aged in 50% new oak. Floral and cherry vanilla scents. Medium bodied, tannic and slightly dry in the finish. 86-88 Pts
