Drank 1/25/22

Nose of plum, blackberry, and earth. On the palate, black fruits dominate, with plum, earth, and black pepper. Finish goes on quite a while, with drying black fruits. Pleasantly surprised by this wine. Drink, or hold up to 10 years.

3/22/7/3/4 + 50 = 89 pts.

A tasty Merlot based red wine from Saint Emilion. Young, but already enjoyable. Showing red fruits with earth, chocolates, tobacco, spices and peppercorn.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with mild complexity.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly.

Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Will get to 90+ points some day. A good wine to buy and hold.

A blend of 72% merlot 20%, Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

87 Points.

$25.

Haut-Cadet 1961 St. Emilion. A tribute to Berns' cold cellar. Still alive and delicious.

Enjoyed this offering over the weekend! Was a nice combination with New York steaks off the grill. Flavorful with hints of blackberry, raspberry and some earthy tones added in. Adding to the rotation

Black cherry nose. Medium earthy tones to taste. Paired well with steak. Celebrated paying off another student loan!
