Very young at this point. The color is almost a bit inky, so was the palate. The best part of the drinking experience was the aroma. It was intense and perfumy. Very pure and concentrated red fruits, violet. Tannin is a bit rough right now. It should evolve nicely in the next 5-8 years.

Hard to believe this is a regional wine. The color is medium garnet, so I thought it'd be over the peak, but oh wow the aroma! It was like holding a bunch of flowers and fruits right next to your nose. On the palate, it was elegantly sumptuous with lively acids, velvety and smooth tannins and a long, pleasant finish.

This is a very good example how humble Bordeaux ages beautifully. Medium bodied, subtle and intricate. At 20 years old, it still got youthful black currant - but nothing overpowering. Tannins are integrated. After a few bottles of this, you really start to question why people pay hundreds for inky, syrupy, and high alcohol new world cab...
