  Domaine visit. A really nice showing. Plush, polished, great mouth feel and acidity, 2019 at its best. Very good for a 3rd wine. 92+

  2019 Bordeaux tasting (K&L Wine Merchant - San Francisco): N: Dark forest floor with dried, brittle tree leaves, almost unripe red cherries and wet stone.
  
  P: Prickly and dark red fruits but somehow light on the palate. Wet stone, damp earth and floral notes on the plate as well.
  
  This might just need some aging in the bottle. I don't think any decanting will calm down the brightness in this wine. Showed way too young.

  K&L 2019 Bordeaux Tasting (K&L Wines, San Francisco): Dark and serious looking. Reserved nose. Medium weight but sappy. Smoky and backward, slightly herbaceous. Excellent acidity, good inner mouth sweetness, and drying tannins. Powerful but well balanced and persistent. Real Pauillac that will take a good 15-20 years to unwind.

  Cigar box, cherry blossoms, and black with red, earthy currants are quick to find. Medium-bodied, with a plushness and polish to the tannins, and fresh red fruits that provide richness and length on the palate with ample bright, red fruits in the finish. The wine blends 55.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38.8% Merlot and 5.4% Petit Verdot, 14.8% ABV. Drink from 2025-2040.
