Stunning Absolutely gorgeous. Undoubtedly young but floral and spicy cherry red fruit wrapped up in a silky package. Long luscious finish with ample acidity, and to me an exquisite modern Bordeaux that did not lose it’s classic flavour profile
And the step up from the Carillon is equally pronounced. Bold, rich, dense, plenty of polished oak lens sweet spice, plain chocolate, a little caramel, lush and plush black plums backed by a smidge raspberry, a touch of fresh herbs lens an almost tobacco leaf note, toast and, again, a little soy sauce. Juicy, fleshy, dense, broad, alcohol warmth is present but controlled, plums are slightly dominated by the oak, creamy, time required though this is balanced. A little freshening red berry; raspberry and strawberry on the finish is pleasant. Powerful. Nice.

作为头阵的是醋栗和樱桃果酱,香草、巧克力,以及很多桉树的清凉气息,很现代的愉悦感呈现。饱满、浓缩,强壮而多汁。随着醒酒,出现更多甘草、烟丝、皮革的香气。良好的酸度和逐渐柔顺的单宁,带来洗尽铅华后的平和与优雅,又宛如坚实的大理石雕塑出的充满活力动感的雕像,不会轻易向时间妥协。92+

Still tannic edges and a little tight. Good wine but would wait a little longer.

Opened in the bottle all day but actually good from the start. Powerful, round and plush.
