Dark garnet. Nose of anise and a hint forest floor. Medium bodied with a bit of tartness and spice. Dried blackberry and blueberry with a long finish. Very nice wine.
Was delighted by the softened tannins and smoothed edges. Lots of sweet merlot and a bit of edge from the cabernet franc. Served after 1hr decant with roast chicken and New potatoes. Altogether a lovely combination. Can't get too much better!

Taste: leather, tobacco and cinnamon in the taste. Rather sweet. Round and quite soft. The tannins were more resolved than with my last bottle, but were still a bit drying, especially when drunk on its own at day four. Then also the alcohol was a bit burning. Already showing some nice complexity, but to my taste this wine now is only entering its drinking window. I will open my next bottle not before 2025 or 2026. Looking forward to that because this wine really seems promising. Potentially 90+.

Solid right bank value wine. Sweet and plush plums with red and black fruit with some earth and a touch of oak.
