Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Early ripening Bordeaux Blend of 35% Merlot, 35% Cab Franc, 25% Cab Sauv & 5% Petit Verdot. Dark Ruby red color with aromas of rich berry fruits with spice, herb and cigar box notes. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and cherry with cinnamon and cedar. Soft fine tannins, rich mouthfeel well balanced with vivid acidity. Long finish ending with fruit, cedar and tobacco. Will benefit from some short term aging, Nice value! — 21 hours ago

Large format, 15 years old…showing a little signs of age, but still spritely enough. A few years ago, this would’ve been in its prime — a day ago

Medium deep garnet core , medium wide garnet rim . This shows very well still with some sous bois , dried herbal hints and cherry . On the palate this shows good freshness , red cherry again, freshly cut herbs , touch of tobacco and black tea . Balanced acidity and lightly dusty but resolved tannins . Good length and presence on the palate , with enough fruit still , good balance and a black tea stained finish. This is at peak , and will probably stay here for a few more years , so no immediate rush, but is unlikely to improve further . — 12 days ago

Truncated cookout notes. Very Graves like nose with lots of cigar box notes along with rich gravelly scents, and some nice plummy fruit. Not quite as deep on the palate as the nose would suggest (it’s a ‘14) but nice acidity. Finishing a tad short. — 22 days ago

Feel like this wine is somewhat underrated here. Fairly small producer but a very pleasing wine. Balance and complexity. Would buy again but feel like it is slightly overpriced... — 9 days ago

Powerful aroma including cassis blackberry and cherry, oak vanilla. Chalk mineral. 30 min, much better, but not necessary for deep decanting. Almost 2019 Lucente 21 @6500, Bic - Oren I G, 250922-250924 — 11 days ago

Layered exotic and supple. This is definitely in the zone. There is a lot going on. Rich dark fruit. Ripe currants, smoke and earthy. Decanted. Give it 20-30 minutes to open. — 9 days ago
