  Decanted for an hour. Cherry nose, medium mouth feel with continued cherry notes, acid, and salinity, medium to long finish.

  Pronounced nose intensity with notes of peppermint, spices, cinnamon, green bell pepper. Medium+ acidity and tannin. Feel youthful and probably just started on the drinking cycle. Decanting will help smoothen the tannin.

  Potpourri of Wines from an Autumn Trip to France; 10/9/2018-10/24/2018 (Paris, Lyon, Beaune, Reims): Medium center. All cool mint and menthol at first, but by the 3 hour mark, it had added smoke, red fruit, and citrus. Like the nose, it started out slowly on the palate as well, pretty thin, astringent, and soil driven. Then it began to pick up spicy red fruit tones backed by substantial acidity, and the back end has rather unforgiving dry tannins. Granted, many 2012's are in a funny, in between stage right now, and maybe this is one of them. Nevertheless, despite its positive development in the glass and very good potential, it never shouted that it was bound to become a great Les Saint Georges, so I'd have to say not as good as it should be.
  
  Well, maybe I spoke (and drank) too soon. Now at 6+ hours, damned if it hasn't started to show ripe cherry, some sap, and overall much better texture until you reach the somewhat grainy tannins. Here's a novel idea if you open one soon-decant!!

  Have had my doughts about this "producer". But I have to admit that this is really fine. Elegance and charm. 93p
