NOSE: Olives, apple (?), toffee, leaves, some baking spice. Fruit darker than I remember in other years.
TASTE: simple but good - just enough oak to add a little quaffability, flavors are dark fruit, light roast coffee, a little toffee and earth. Tannins balance on the finish - you can tell it’s young but who cares. Another good-but-cheap Bordeaux. I liked 2018 better, but this is good too. 89.
