85 merlot, 10 cab sauvignon, 5 cab franc. Very dark brickish ruby men genomskinligt. Tunna gardiner (12,5 procent). Stor rökig doft av skogsgolv, mint och sten. Tydlig syra men inbäddad i fluffiga, fylliga tanniner. Jordgubbssylt, plommon, mjölkchoklad (en hint) och multna löv. Lång, något bitter eftersmak. Tämligen udda men gott.

Mörk rubin, duktigt grumligt. Medelgardiner (12,5 procent). Blå plommon, jordgubbar, russin, sötlakrits, lite läder. Finkorniga men sträva tanniner, medelhög syra. Röda bär och nog något enstaka blått i kompotten. Höstlöv men inga jättetydliga tecken på ålderdom. Snyggt och välbalanserat.

Lots of bottle variation amongst the 4 bottles we opened. Also one of the more polarizing wines of the evening (even if you factor out the variation). The best bottles still drinking well, dark cherry and heavier than I expected. Despite a double decant and then two hours decanting in glasses it was still very structured. Some bottles more ‘woody’ than others. Quite a few people loved it with the poached truffle egg pairing.
The wine is probably at its peak, still well alive. The wine is clear, deep garnet, with some sediments. On the nose the wine is fully developed, intensity is profound, with aromas of dark plum, dark cherry, blackberry, cedar, forest floor, and leather. The wine is dry, with medium(+) acid, tannins are smoooth, but still high. It is medium(+) bodied, with medium alcohol. Flavours of blackberry, black plum, cedar, and forest floor. It has a long finish. The wine is outstanding, can drink now, suitable for further ageing for another 3-5 years.

Paulee Bdx dinner - small glass and one of the weakest bottles of the evening. Just very mediocre. Much worse then the surprisingly attractive 13...
