  Ripe plum. Silty tannins. Good amount of sediment. Should hold on for a few more years, but don't see it getting any more interesting. Drink.

  Ready to drink. Modern style Bordeaux. Seems a bit manufactured for my taste but nonetheless very enjoyable.

  The 2016 Clos Labarde we tried, also from Total Wine, was indeed defective and undrinkable, so this wine might also be degraded. But this one is not obviously off, so I don’t know. In any case, the bottle we have strikes us as a poor example of St Emilion, far inferior to the 2016 Monbousquet or Clos de L’Oratoire. The wine is fruit-forward and jammy and lacking in structure.

  drank over two nights.. tight on opening.. darker fruit with some minerality/cedar.. stayed tight for the first two glasses.
  
  second night opened up beautifully.. fruit was more integrated. a smoky minerality instead of just the minerality. much smoother tannins not as brash..just overall a better glass of wine although the core of the wine did not change much. but more complexity showed through.. this is a rebuy..

  Good. Little muted at first and missing some acid, but overall pretty good. I like the penguin review.
