St. Estèphe, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
From a great looking bottle with a fill almost into the neck. Double decanted and left in the bottle for 5 hours before attacking it. Amber color. Good weight and haunting nose. Notes of old cedar, mocha, plums, cola, dark fruit, molasses and some sweet red cherry. Early on it’s all about the amazing nose. But with time the wine gains weight and you have a gorgeous old St Estephe in front of you. Still giving its all, and although the fruit is somewhat faded, this has complexity and structure that still drives the experience. And that nose is simply stunning. Great showing.

Sweet and soft on the nose. Delicate and Rounded cherry with a soured finish. Lots of lifted secondary fruit and aromas. The most restrained of the three but the least punchy. Excellent.
