Again a very beautiful Bdx nose 👍👍
Intensive taste with cassis, freshly ground coffee, a touch of menthe. Well integrated tannins and a long nice finish.

Decanted for sediment. Medium to dark garnet color. Nose of cassis, black plum, black cherry, hint of woodsy mushroom, cedar, and a hint of dark chocolate coming through from the oak. Similar flavors on the palate with a good amount of dark, ripe, black fruits mixed with some earthy, savory notes. Medium acid, tannin and body. My only complaint is the wine drank a little on the soft side and could have used a bit more structure. Definitely not a bottle I would hold for long term aging but quite enjoyable right now.

Bromley Wine Circle does Bordeaux - 18th January 2024 (Chez Moi): Decanted for 2 hours. Cool dark fruits and bell pepper here, some redcurrant coulis. Palate has some cigar box and some flecks of nutmeg. Savoury and lovely.

Dark ruby. Nose blackberry. Taste, medium-bodied, soft tannins, lowish blackcurrant fruit, smooth, some dry herbs, enjoyable, accessible. Not sure I’d want to keep it for longer though.

With a touch of savory tobacco on the nose but in pretty developed way. Same on pallet, so while I love it I'd say drink up!
