Vintage 2019 | unknown producer for me, but it stood out in a very diverse tasting with wines from all over the world. Rich smell with laurel, eucalyptus and each minute new layers, complexity. Well balanced, good acidity, it’s a severe Pomerol, because tasted blind I placed it on the left bank, like more tasters. WOTN

Plum and mint. A whiff of earth and subdued oak related spices. Quaffable Bordeaux Merlot, the 15% Cab Sauv not really coming through for me

Full-bodied, Very fruit forward, drinking well at this young age after a short decant. Plum, blueberry, vanilla with some earthy and tobacco-like notes. Acid and tannin hold up very well, overall very balanced with a long juicy afterhall.
