Was really green and vegetal upon opening. With air, mellowed out to wet tobacco and baked currants.

2018 vintage. Dourthe managed this estate for the Japanese owners (Mercian) since 2001 and finally bought it in 2014. The soils are somewhat atypical for the Médoc, with a lot of clay, which explains why Reysson has probably the highest Merlot content (92%) on the left bank. Cru Bourgeois Supérieur. Another great Bordeaux value. Black cherries and very subtle oak. Round and balanced, with the high (abv. 14,5 %) alcohol well-integrated. Soft tannic structure and good length.

Wine pours brick red. We decanted for an hour before dinner. Went perfectly with the prime prime rib for our Christmas 2023 dinner. Flavors of currant, spice some licorice, and dried berries. An excellent value and definite rebuy.
