  Small half bottle. Left open for 30min. Nose is fresh berries with a touch of more mature black fruits. On the palate, plum with a mix of chocolate. Lacks body. Medium acidity. Definitely miss power due to lack of decanting.

  Imødekommende Bordeaux og rigtig god PQR. God balance mellem næse og smag. Tydelige grønne noter, solbær og kirsebærsten. Medium syre, medium krop, medium eftersmag og gode vedholdende tanniner. Savner lidt tertiære elementer, som givet kommer med alderen. Godt eksempel på en prisvenlig Bordeaux domineret af Cabernet Sauvignon.

  This wine is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 8% Petit Verdot. This is a fun wine, remember that we have not yet seen the big wines of 2016. As I have said many times on this blog, the 2016 vintage in Bordeaux may well be better than the 2015 vintage! For now, the few 2016 reds we have seen from Bordeaux are showing nicely.
  The nose on this wine shows very nicely with rich loam, dirt, green notes, followed by bright and big black fruit, with hints of mushroom in the background, lovely mint, and menthol notes abound as well. The mouth on this medium-bodied wine is fun and alive, with screaming acid, that gives way to intense tannin that is soft and yet rich and mouth-coating, with great fruit focus, showing blackcurrant, blackberry, with red cherry, and olives, that give way to green notes, mouth scraping mineral, foliage, and tobacco. The finish is long and green, at the start it is a bit too astringent and green to truly enjoy, with time it comes around with nice spice, earth, graphite, sour notes, more red and black fruit, and nice coffee/chocolate mix. Nice! It can be drunk now, but to really appreciate it, I would decant it for a good 3 hours, to cut some of the green and astringent notes. Drink now (with decanting) till 2027.
