  4th Saturday Brown Bagger (EBCC): Double blind. Notes of cinnamon, cherry, tobacco and earth. Medium tannins. Red plum, raspberry and earthy elements on the palate. Took a while to open and fully reveal itself, but clearly Bordeaux. Seemed much older than 2015 and ready now if this was a representative sample. (R&D)

  This is open for business. Nice ripe dark fruits emerge after an hour, very soft and silky, it has found it harmony! Drink up!!!

  6-hour decant. Rust rim. Elegant. Medium-light body. A bottle that has seemed to be more aged than expected, but sufficient fruit and body remains to provide enjoyment. Lovely with filet mignon.

  It's not a wine that needs 15-30 years like its senior vine sibling VCC, but it is ageing nicely. Lovely dark chocolate and black cherry center, unctuous mouthful and nice faintly grippy finish. Lovely stuff.

  A magnum brought by Francois to dinner at Gueuleton in Bordeaux. This showed so well with deep black fruit flavors and classic notes of truffles and spices on the smooth, silky finish. Fairly full bodied and supremely delicious with steak. A perfect time for drinking this and I loved it.
