The wine of most interest to me in the Bordeaux masterclass. Savoury nose sporting notes like tomato leaves, bell pepper, clove, forest floor, cassis, and some oak toast. Full-bodied with sweet plush fruits and graphite notes, along with high, fine, and directional tannins. Enjoyed the complexity here and that the oak richness was in check, but it was still a tough glass to finish.

Tasted blind with tasting group. My 4th place, group's 2nd. Characteristic hay, honey. Tart. Unyielding. Way too much SO2

Great expression of Bordeaux. Ripe tropical fruit with amount of sweet herbal. Tons of texture, incredible length. Seriously good wine
