Earthy (vegetal and mushroom) on the nose. However, kimchi is slowly taking over that sense because my husband decided to dig kimchi out of a jar as I was smelling. Thanks. Old red fruit. Not fruity at all, but it has a old leather and dark, bitter chocolate quality to it. There is a light bark spice on the aftertaste. Pair with pets for a St. Hubert Jura Hound, the robust Swiss mountain walking dog who’s origin dates back to the Middle Ages.

This is a classic Paulliac - a reminder of why I treasure this region. Barnyard, cedar, rosemary, spices on the nose. This wine evolves after 2 hours, where you truly experience it's complexity and structure. Bell pepper, black fruit, hint of leather, integrated tannins, long finish... This wine drinks well now but certainly has all the right ingredients to evolve further over the next 5 years.

Amazingly good! You could taste the age on this and it had a sense of richness and creaminess that is classically Bordeaux. Picture perfect.

Nice, but perhaps not a perfect bottle. Seemed a bit advanced.
