  Paired well with Japan vs Italy WBC Quarter Final match. Finished second to 2000 Chateau Talbot on the evening.

  I opened this wine 2 hours before consumption . Upon opening, the color was brick and the tannins overwhelmed the fruit. Two hours later, this wine was lovely. The color evolved to garnet with tawny at the edge. The nose was dark fruits and eucalyptus. The fruits opened into cassis and dark berries. I’m sad it was my last bottle, but will cherish the memory.

  Dark ruby colored, medium bodied, red berry and black cherry fruits with notes of floral, earth, herbes de Provence, sweet tobacco leaf, smoke and dusty rose with a moderate lingering tannin finish.

  Integrated smooth tannins. Dark cherry flavors, interspersed with herbal notes. Price adjusted, fantastic value. Misses the gravitas compared to canon la gaffeliere, but I like !

  Zoom blind tasting #4: Bordeaux (At home during circuit breaker): Probably at peak and very enjoyable. This was very different in character from the two elegant wines that preceded it - there was a bit more force and old-school charm here. The nose had a coffee-ish roastedness to it, with ripe dark cassis and red berries along with a dash of spice and tobacco. There was just a hint of meaty, earthy funkiness creeping in at the edges too. With time, a nice floral character came out as well - violets I thought. Really nice. I liked the feel on the palate too - velvety tannins and lovely integrated acidity forming the backdrop for deliciously plump flavours of red cherries, plums, and a lovely flush of spiciness and bittersweet dark chocolate tracing its way into a satisfying finish. As with the nose, there was just a touch of earth and meat in there as well. Nothing mind-blowing (it was a tad simple), but this was certainly moreish and delicious stuff - this really hit the spot today.
