2022 vintage. Strange nose and drying finish. And Diam again. I wish producers would mention on the back label that they use Diam so that I can avoid buying these bottles.

2029 vintage. Château de Carles, Fronsac. A bit jammy, flirting with overripeness. Decent, but a slightly drying and rather short finish.

Rich and earthy, this Merlot dominant blend has a medium, smooth body with a nicely stricter mouthfeel, dark currant flavors, and a lot of rich lingering tannins - like Rutherford dust on steroids.
