Moulis en Médoc, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
2022 vintage. I don't look at the cork when opening bottles, to not be biased. Smell immediately made me think of Diam, as did the dry unpleasant aftertaste. Sadly, it was indeed a Diam 5 cork. Too bad, as the wine has a good structure.

Last dinner in France, last wine to taste. This wine was given to me by someone but I don't remember who. It was in my father's cellar with a handwritten note "Daniel's wine".
There is tar, cedar, black currant and blackberry, cocoa and mocha on the nose. The palate is very well made with a great acid drive, some nice width, a beautiful black currant and blackberry fruit shining through and through, a soft mouthfeel giving way to some already nicely integrated tannins in the rear, living a grain and powering up some savory tastes, almost meaty, and a nice finish that goes on for a while. Very nice bordeaux!
