2 hours decanting should be necessary. Earthy aroma came out. Dry and spicy. A bit high alcohol flavor. 87 2nd day is much better. 88 2014 @1400, xuaduo -, 211207-211211

Deep garnet hue with high saturation. Aromas of blackberry, cherry, lavender, pepper, plum, sage, and tar. Full body with full, robust tannins and medium-plus acidity. Palate adds hints of minerals and tomato. A deep, aromatic, complex red with a clean, balanced finish. A very good entreé into Pessac-Léognan.

Ruby hue. Black Forest cherry torte on the nose. Spice, black pepper, tobacco, black olive, oak, molasses, and leather on the palate. Strong tannins that soften the longer this wine breathes. 60/40 Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend, respectively. This wine may be ‘le petit’ but it has a strong voice of its own. Vintage 2014. ABV 13.5%.

Forgot to make notes about it when I was drinking it. However, I do remember that it was excellent. Would definitely drink again.

Dark fruit, earth, plum, tobacco, black vanilla tea, and leather on the nose. More black fruit, currant, cassis, coffee, and silky refined tannins on the palate. 60% cab and 40% merlot with 13.5% alcohol. Slight rim variation with high tearing. Paired with Kung Pao Asian cuisine.
