Leather, parchment, cassis, cherry, graphite, peppercorn. Improved with 1-2 hours of air. Solid, smooth, deep and complex. Fantastic and should continue to mature.

2/23/2024 - 2ndvinwine Does not like this wine:
No sediment in the bottle, bright ruby color.
Bright violets, dark chocolate, cherries, and raspberries on the nose. Faint nose of mushroom to start, forest floor, then moss.
Long length of flavor, but not a very pleasant flavor. Tart under ripe cherry on the pallet. Medium tannins. slightly tart cherry, followed by leather, the ending is tart and the aftertaste tightens the pallet.
It got better and less tart after 90 minutes of decanting, but we finished the bottle so I cant tell you the flavor change after the first 90 minutes.
6/10 - wildly underwhelming for a second growth Bordeaux.

Open for business with some expressiveness and mellowed tannins. Classic in style if not the most complex.

Tasted this at the International Congress of Chinese Cuisine & Wine, Chateau Brane-Cantenac Masterclass at The Tower Club.
On the nose: charming and calm. Beautiful black currants. Very floral and very elegant.

Pretty nose which is starting to show some development via tobacco and leather notes. Medium bodied with good persistence. Starting to drink well now.
