Tremendously tasty and a very good value, too! Soft, round and easy sipping.

From the Cazenuve family, with Daniel Llose (of AXA MIllésimes) as consulting oenologist. Grapes are hand picked in cagettes; rare for any Bordeoux wines at this price point. Aged 15 months in 1/3 new barriques, blended late. The wine is of substantial flesh on the forefront, with warm undertones of coffee and tobacco, and admirable grip.

55/45 CS/Merlo blend.
Fresh, juicy & expressive.
Black currant, dark plum, some light, minty undergrowth, a bit of cassis.
Medium bodied on the palate with very fine yet grippy tannins, juicy, ripe. With a bit of creaminess to the fruit and an overall good flow.
This is really nice.

A baffling conundrum of sweet and woody potential with a hint of bark from the ents of faghorn forest

Smells like a nice leather shop. Nice amount of dryness on the palate
