Punching well able it's weight but difficult to identify as most people haven't had an unoaked Bordeaux Merlot of this age. Nice nose of red plums - still quite a lot of fruit; tannins present but fully assimilated and nice acidity. Everyone guessed Cru Bourgeois or above!

Magnum for Christmas Eve dinner 2019 with Baptiste (and also over Thanksgiving dinner 2019). Need about 2 hours to fully open up. Excellent wine for the money.

Lots of ripe red fruits and even some blueberry perhaps.... Tertiary aromas of leather, smoke and cedar. The tannins were a lot silkier and refined than anticipated for this right bank merlot. Well balanced, good acidity and all in all going down quite nicely. :)

Magnum. A little steely sweaty nose. Strawberry earthiness, leather, light on the palate. Love.

I'm learning and developing a taste for older French bx. This one is very nice. Well balanced, but firm. Far from flabby. Leather, dirt, rustic. Really like it.
