Decanted a few hours and saved half the bottle for day 2. Red fruit profile, rustic, tannic with loads of acidity (moderate ++). Nose is really wonderful and gives me some confidence in a lovely future. But after a couple days being open, it is still not close to being approachable. I’ll try to wait at least 5 years before revisiting, ideally 10.

Nose: thick black currants, graphite, floral perfume, old cigar box, and tannic earth. Palate: voluminous dark cherry; with time in the glass some red berry fruit (raspberry) emerges; roughly polished tannins that leave a soft sandiness that coats the mouth for a long period of time but is never overwhelming and results in a beautiful mouthfeel; good acidity, slightest bit of oak along with some bitter grape seed and cocoa, which can be detected on the finish.

Union Grands Crus Bordeaux (UGC) 2020 Tasting (Hangar 14, Bordeaux): Very concentrated graphite flavours with gritty tannins. Brooding right now this has good potential down the road.
