I was pleasantly surprised by this wine having had no history with it. Lots of dark fruit in nose and taste. — 4 years ago
Forgot how much I enjoy this wine. Bookmark. — 10 years ago
60% Cabernet Franc, 25% Merlot & 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
Nose has spring rose, rain moistened red raspberry, black currant and fresh sage.
Palate has lightly tannic blackberry, wet leather, ripe black currant, cigar box, wet clay and tarry black cherry.
Paired with a long cooked Bolognese sauce over fettuccine. Decanted ~3hr, more time in the decanter would benefit. Future bottles can be 2022+
Happy Father's Day 2019 to all. Today I'm posting pictures of our kids, yes they are all furry, independent and somewhat self-interested. Two boys (8) and two girls (2), sisters, all rescued. They generally bring the utmost of joy to my life on a daily basis. It has been a rainy and relaxing day here, everyone is loving the slow pace of life today.
I think that Delectable needs to be able to tag cat+wine posts so that I can make a bookmark for felines. — 6 years ago

2019 vintage. Dusty, dirty, plummy nose. Medium/medium-heavy bod. A bit chunky for Pessac and that was perhaps the attraction. Balanced and overt fruit/tannins on the same plate. Seems like it'll hold steady as a bookmark in this spot for another 6-7 years. Curious as to where it rates in two decades but doubt I'll ever find out. 05.14.25. — 10 days ago
