Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend

I think this is peaking. From a marginal year but really nice. Lots of cedar and a little roasted peanut note augmenting some nice, mellow cassis fruit on the nose. A big whack of intense flavors on initial entry, with tannins still there but softening. A teensy bit drying on the finish, but damn this is nice with grilled butterflied leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary.

Lovely and classic. Drinking very well right now.

Not as expected. Disappointing. Very ordinary.

Matches well with Italian good also. A long taste of spice

Perfect balance. Amazing pairing with a garlic tome

July 1 2018 good on the nose. Paired well with beef ribs, asparagus as kale salad.

Laval. 2012. Cab sauv, merlot, Cabernet franc. Très épicé, très structure.

Great fruit that is deceiving based upon the initial nose. Fun wine
