  Decanted for an hour. Deep ruby color. Some time in the glass reveals aromas of blackberries, raspberries, toasted oak, damp earth, and anise. Juicy dark cherries and fragant raspberries on the palate, with a flinty, dark chocolate finish and a tinge of warm spice. Full-bodied with dusty tannins. A bit too strong on the oak. Still a good and well-made right bank for casual drinking. Will shine in a few more years.

  Had a taste. Still a little tannic. Full body. Red fruit. Earthy and minerality. A little harsh in my opinion. Not my favorite right bank wine.

  Vanilla, smoke, espresso and dark cherries with a savory edge shine with little effort already. The wine is medium-bodied, plush and polished with chewy tannins and a blast of spicy coffee notes to accompany the fruits in the finish, this will be just great to taste on release. Drink from 2022-2034.

  Floral, fruity, soft and silky, with elegant, but present tannins and a long, fleshy, black raspberry cherry and vanilla tinged finish. 89-91 Pts
