Ruby with aromas of berry fruit aromas and earthy herb notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants, with earthy tobacco, cacao and smoky oak notes. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with oak, mushroom and earthy notes. Drink now, went downhill after being opened for an hour.

Flirts with 9.3. Had this five years ago, not ready. Tonight, beautiful & elegant. Classic Bordeaux. Ralph the Bordeaux buyer for K&L likes this producer quite a bit. Just for their craft and then for the value they bring to the table. I think this was around $25 upon release.

The palate is lush, rich elegance. Ripe, juicy; blackberries, black raspberries, plum, very dark cherries, strawberries & an array of purple fruits. Lead pencil, dry tobacco with ash, nutmeg, cinnamon, dark spice-box, vanillin, anise, mid berry cola, limestone, dark, rich, soil, dry pebbles, steeped fruit tea, sandstone, sandalwood, dry herbs, floral bouquet, excellent acidity, well structured, balanced, knitted finish that wire to wire is polished and lasts 1-2 minutes. Excellent Ribcap fodder. Has another 8-10 years of good drinking properly stored.

Deep ruby with a light ruby core. Decanted for a half hour before serving, initially I had a candied red fruit on the nose that blew off and now have a tart cherry and pomegranate quality with dried herbs. The acidity is nice on this one, lush and juicy.

Everything medium, which I guess means it's balanced. Very good but not outstanding. #hautmédoc #grandcruclassé #bordeaux
