Good Bordeaux blend — 17 days ago
Harmonious nose of blackberry, blackcurrant, smoked wood, leather, hints of mocha.
Warm and greasy on the palate, eucalyptus, maybe menthol. Great length with dry finish. — a month ago
The nose opens with waves of ripe black cherry, cassis, plum liqueur, and dark chocolate Beneath the opulence lies impressive complexity with hints of espresso, violets, and peppery spice emerge gradually with air. The palate is dense and supple, showing warmth and generosity. Plenty of nuance beneath the lavish fruit.
Possibly the best value for a St-Emilion GCC. Will need to seek out more. — 4 months ago

Maritana 5-24-26 — 4 months ago
Creamy, delicate, floral aroma with a hint of honey. Paired nicely with a white fish dish at a Commanderie de Bordeaux dinner at Hope Club. — 18 days ago
A little blocky and rough initially. Needed an hour or two to come together. Then the nose started showing elegant black cherry and cassis fruit, smoky gravel tones, and a little dry underbrush. It softened in the mouth too. The tannins are quite present and clingy, but receding under the waves of fruit and loads of rich clay-like earthiness. Decent acids, especially for an ‘18. This is nice now with a 90+ minute decant, and likely will improve even more over the next 5 years or so. — a month ago

This had mostly black fruits, graphite, earth, menthol, spice & tobacco. This is just starting to enter its drinking window with many years ahead. — 8 days ago
