Cherry compote, black currant and smoky mulberry; light leather and English tea notes. Lavender and cassis. Black currant dominates a palate rife with smoky blackberry and dark tobaccos, bakers chocolate and dark raisins. Decidedly rich and adumbral.

Third course with the 06 Lynch Bages, Duck Confit with Pommes Landsies.

The body is full. The tannins round but still big. The fruit is very dark; blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries with ripe strawberries. More earthier than the others so far. Dry stones, crush rocks, tobacco leaf, some graphite, underbrush, cigar aftertaste, saddle-wood, tough leather, dark red dry flowers. Good acidity. The finish leans earth. It just needs more time in bottle...at least five years+.

Vin agréable sans défaut. Note de framboise, explosion de fruits rouges en bouche. Ne m'a pas donner plus de frisson que ça.

Every time we have this or something similar I ask myself, "why don't we drink more Bordeaux?"
