Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend

Aged nicely, very supple, soft tannins, blueberries. Good sense of purity of fruit. Benefitted from a brief decant.

Ch Simard 1990...amazing for 23 years. Dried cherry, fresh truffle, cedar box, leather jacket, soft silky lingering finish

Delicate nose , floral, soft and sweet fruit on the mid palate. Ending with a tannic grip that is not harsh or green

Can't really go wrong with 10 year old Bordeaux.

Overachiever. Sweet vanilla, fresh and stewed red and blue fruits. Prune, fig, blueberry, plum, and cherry. Mint. High acid, elevated tannins.

Credit to the owner: aged perfectly, not a flaw in sight. Cured meat on the nose. Palate is all smoke and ashes, salami, forest floor and dead acidity. What an experience. It’s really showing we for it’s 30 years of age.

Pretty nice juice that hardly shows its age. Pop and pour shows awkward earth, tar, and tobacco, but surprisingly primary and full of tart cherry with some air.

2004. Old world cab francy funk

Tried another bottle A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, Ruby with brown edges. Aromas of dark berry fruit and earth. On the palate, tart cherry and plum with soft pepper spice show good balance with round tannins. The finish was medium in length and enjoyable, lost its luster.

2005 only just starting to brick deep purple, savory black fruits so soft rich and delicious
