If Foillard made Bordeaux. Needs 15 minutes for the funk to blow off. Then some cassis, leather and tobacco. But boy that funk is present. But it goes away! Don’t be afraid! Palate is juicy, oh man so juicy, like almost its juice. Fresh and fresh and then fresh some more. Interesting but last bottle showed better. Seems a bit all over the place.

Very good. Not great but nice. Not much length nor fruit but tasty with most foods.

Sweet blackberry nose. Palate is quite smooth. Sweet blackberries. Extremely delicious fruit. Some cassis on the finish. Maybe a hint of licorice. A really good Tuesday night Bordeaux with food. I dont mean to damn this with faint praise. It’s an amazing wine for what it is. ... getting better at the hour mark. Blackberry flower aromatics with some savoriness. Not a typical fass selections wine and not a typical Bordeaux but very delicious and interesting. It has a place in a cellar. It’s a wine you want to drink on a night you don’t want complications but you know once you drink a bit you will be open to the suggestion of complexity.

Jun 22nd, 2019Smells like aged Gouda
Spicy. First guess cali cab.
Not a lot of depth on the nose
Paso Robles cab.
Grenache?
Why less nose? Grapes aged separately, complex in taste.
