Day 2, still not impressed. Pungent, but in a raw kind of way, like potting soil. Black fruits and raisins. Meh.

May 7th, 2016“In the glass, the wine has a glistening, dark royal purple color, almost black in the center, with flashes of magenta just at the edge. The classic Right Bank nose unfurls gradually with aromas of sun-warmed black raspberries, griotte cherries, and sweet white tobacco moving in and out of the foreground, sometimes alternating with Dutch cocoa, eucalyptus, and vanilla as the wine evolves in the glass.
On entry, the wine is luscious and succulent, building to a rich, juicy mid-palate, with a cornucopia of black and red fruit flavors that echo the nose, all lightly seasoned with toasted coconut, baker’s chocolate, and red berry acidity, and the long, elegant finish is punctuated with sinuous, fine-grained, dusty tannins.

Jan 6th, 2018Two drastically different opinions. 1. Fresh out of the bottle it was short and lacked flavor. 2. Sat for a day, aerated, and served with a plate of spaghetti. Wow! What a completely different glass. Very robust, long, and a deep flavor.

Really good entry Bordeaux. Black cherry and cassis. Good acid, easy tannins.
