Very good wine. PnP. Tastes still very young with strong fruit but no secondary/tertiary aromas yet. Was a pleasure to drink but will easily develop over another 10 years.

At its prime. Still fresh and exuberant. Deep fruits and a little vanilla. Nice

I notice various other notes indicating this is drinking well currently and couldn't agree more. On the nose, intensity is medium+ with primary aromas of dark plum, dark cherry, a little mint, dried herbs. Some smoke and then tertiary aromas of mushroom and dried fruit. Acidity is medium with well-integrated smooth tannin. Long finish with a coffee component. Classic Bordeaux in prime drinking window.

My first time with this wine and very impressed. Rich plummy fruit, vanilla, hints of tobacco, smooth silky tannins and a long finish. Went perfectly with the smashburgers!
