Deep ruby/purple. Forest floor, clove, red currant, red cassis, vanilla, lean Cab Sauv texture. Dark cassis on the palate, cardamom. Chalky elevated tannins. In a good place already.

On this Friday night I have opened the 2018 Château Saint-Pierre from Saint Julien of the Left Bank of Bordeaux. A blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot.
On the nose I am getting black cherry, black raspberry, black currant, clove, black pepper, herbs, menthol, smokey oak and dark earth.
On the palate there is black cherry, black raspberry, blueberry, black currant, floral notes, graphite, oak and earth.
This wine is full bodied that is tight in the mouth with medium + to high acidity and medium + to high grainy tannins that has a long dark fruit earthy finish. Have great weekend please be safe and stay healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Pencil, green pepper, soft Pom cassis and young cranberry. Tapas pairer! Pleasant acid and easy flow.

Very enjoyable Wednesday Wine Committee lunch today with @Weston Eidson & @Colby Siratt hosting. Same format as always...1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine all tasted blind.
This producer was new to me. Loved it! The nose has such dark fruit wrapped in smoked/chargrilled meats. Not overly savory and zero funk, but just a killer mesh of sweet and savory. Tobacco, graphite, cassis up front with a finish of blackberry pie, leather, and herbs de Provence. This could be a wonderful wine in 7-10yrs. I called this left bank 2012 vintage.

Lots of leather and smoke along with dried red fruit. Good structure and acid. Showing well for 13 yrs.

£30. Decanted smell of red currents and black currents with blancmange slightly soaked in brandy. This was lovely with beef but also nice on its own. Smooth with lovely Oak smokey aroma. Excellent price.
Grape 75% Cabernet Sauvignon 15% merlot 10% Cab. Franc.
