If I was trying this blind I would have sworn this was a good Pomerol. Cassis, raspberry, graphite, leather and just a little vanilla. Ripe black fruit is massive on the palate and the very slightly dusty tannins are smooth and resolved. Spiced finish of molasses, balsamic and a touch of violet. Absolutely delicious and in a perfect drinking window.

Silky and smooth with lots of juicy blackberries and black cherries, hint of oak. Good acidity, tannins fully integrated. Absolutely in best shape now and might be stored for some more years.

Great wine. There was a tremendous amount of sediment in the decanter and glass. Still dark purple almost black in the middle. The nose was lighter than expected, faint. I tasted dark fruit and a lot of cherry flavor. Very tannic but food friendly. 5-6 second finish.
