Perfectly aged. Okay, earthy. Leathery. Well balanced.
2008, fun year. But not for the French.

Impressive for its rich, toasty nose. Palate is contemporary and consistent. Pairs nice with a chilled autumn evening. Barrel toast is predominant, but it’s chased by plums and sandalwood, this is an easy-drinking representation of Bdx.

Haven’t drank Bordeaux in a long while - this wine may convince me to come back.

Pours dark. Herbal and savory, would remind me of Nebbiolo if it had some tar and roses. Fresh and bright without being a fruit-bomb, and with some sophistication lent by the herbs. Rosemary, mint, and some grassy notes intermingle. This is a biodynamic wine, grown by Marie Belevier. 85% Merlot, 15% Cab Franc, aged in 50% new oak for 15 months. Unfiltered.
