  -- decanted 45 min. before initial taste --
  -- tasted non-blind over 1.5 hrs on Day 1; revisited on Day 6 --
  
  NOSE: Day 1: vaguely red-fruited, with some florals; a bit earthy; medium+ expressiveness. Day 6: dark red fruits; strong mineral note; soapy florals.
  
  BODY: medium bodied.
  
  TASTE: Day 1: medium+ to high acidity --- juicy; can feel the alc. a bit (labelled at 13.5%); a light TCA-esque note on the palate. Day 6: very bitter and oaky, but at least that TCA-like note is gone. Confusing showing.

  Dark reddish-purple garnet in color. Full, forward & fragrant nose of ripe fruits aromas of cherries, black currants & cassis with overtones of floral notes of violets & dusty/earthy notes, spices, cocoa/coffee, tobacco, minerals, camphor & a hint of vanilla/oak. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & red currants with herbs, minerals, spices, anise, cocoa & vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging. An indicative blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot.

  Deep ruby colour. Medium and developing nose with blackcurrant, green bell pepper, eucalyptus, black pepper, cloves, cedar and violet. Medium (+) taste of blackcurrant, green bell pepper, eucalyptus, black pepper, vanilla, cloves and cedar. Long and dry finish. High acidity. Medium tannins. Medium body. A very good Margaux that needs time. Drink in eight to fifteen years. Goes well with beef or lamb.

  Bordeaux 2022 en Primeur and some recent vintages: A winery long run by the same team as Giscours. I remember it as a rather simple wine. Today, however, it showed surprisingly well, clearly some progress has been made. The 2019 is very charming. Lots of Bordeaux for little money.
