First wine in flight five for the Bordeaux Master's Class at Heart's Delight with wines from Saint Estephe.

Deep ruby red. A bit of heat on the nose with toasty notes, cinnamon and cassis. Heavy tannins (7/10) and medium to full bodied. Palate has nose of red cherries and some earthiness. Still a baby. Dry and long finish. Drink from 2020 till 2035.

Very good, even if we opened it a little early. Like a freshly used pencil sharpener on the nose. Tannins give it some oomph but overall, it’s clean and well-rounded.
