An oak heavy nose, with licorice, black cherry and cocoa to help mellow out the strong espresso notes. Round, plush and forward, with a sweet, black raspberry, dark plum and espresso finish. 87-89 Pts

And allot more structure to it. Lots of power there. Is it all wood? Double decanted but still over massive.

I agree with other comments. The wine has aged beautifully and with aeration/decanting was smooth with complexity of taste and finish.

Grand Cercle wines: Mainly 2015 just bottled (Chateau de Pressac Saint Emilion): After the oaky dominance of the two preceding wines, I get more succulence from the palate of this estate, but then again it also gets to be a bit drying on the finish, so I cannot score it too highly.
