Great example of young Bordeaux, showing a little Brett, but all the better for it.

Tradional in style, good fruit and terroir buttressed by a sturdy frame of ripe and fleshy tannin.

Slightly brownish ruby colored. Decanted 45 min. Red fruit on the nose. Really smooth structure. Tannins supple. Black fruit, black cherry mostly with some red fruit as well. Bit of red licorice, pencil lead, earthy, tobacco. Really really enjoyed this one. Update: wine kept getting better in time, love this wine!
