WWC - CH (Fort Worth Club): Tasted blind - my top wine. Big nose of red fruit, with a hint of olive juice; deep red in the glass, little to no bricking. Nice integrated tannins lent a great structure that paired with the fresh red fruit flavors, with a hint of saddle leather. Delicious. Guessed a right bank BDX. I was in the neighborhood on age.

Right Bank Bordeaux Tasting: Tasted single blind. More age than others based on resolved tannin. Black olive, pepper, touch of prune on the finish. There is a peculiar and almost weird character on the finish that I cannot describe??

Masterfully uncorked and decanted, revealing a dark ruby coloured coat, viscous to the point of hugging the glass. The nose is (surprisingly) fruit forward, with absence of earthy tones. This is now in a unique drinking window where the fruit has now emerged. Red berries, ripe prunes, strawberry, and red liquorice dominate the nose. After a few turns in the glass, the red meat and leather emerge, as the fruit remains present.
The palate is just wonderful. Smooth, very subtle tannins, and a long chewy finish. Cherry sorbet comes right out the gate followed by creme de cassis, tobacco, ripe red berries, and subtle spice and black olives as it lingers for a long time.
This is drinking well and likely at its peak. If you have one, don't wait. Life is precious.

Robe évoluée rubis en son centre et disque légèrement aqueux et orangé. Nez sur notes tertiaires, cuir, boîte à cigare, humus de forêt, réglisse. En bouche, grain de grande finesse, trame tannique toujours perceptible, notes de fruits noirs, café, tabac, réglisse. Jus cistercien, belle droiture longueur correcte mais sans plus. Dommage j’aurais attribué un 95/100 si cela avait été le cas.
