Textbook flavors of dried plum, cocoa and fern. Young but very approachable and ready to drink.

A bit sweet vanilla and oak aroma. Black currant, cherry. Leather. Drinkable from initial, but a bit spicy and acidic. 1 hour is ok, but 2 hours, quite smooth. Now is ok to drink. A bit dry is feature of it. Nice wine! 2013 @11638, HROKA JH, 230128-230909

Big bold Bordeaux!
Strong nose and deep garnet hue.
Cork presentation nearly black.
Explosive out of the glass with a complex mid palate and semi long lingering finish that beckons for another taste.

16/20 (88/100) Аромат яблока, сливы, вишни, животный тон. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, липкими танинами. Не хватает концентрации во вкусе.

Huge smiles for this wine! Drinking wonderfully now. Still has several years left in its peak drinking window. Elegant smooth black and blue fruits with creamy chocolate. Excellent!

Exactly what I was looking for - BIG Bordeaux excellence. I love the fact I can taste France in this glass. Smooth on-boarding of luxurious silk, followed by that classic big French mature red fruit greatness. Finishes well with a slight hint of tobacco. Bliss
