Big surprise. Very impressed.
Primal nose with cigar and coffee notes. Makes sense since the dominant grape is merlot, with cab sauv as the remainder. Very ripe on the palette. Tannins are prominent and not yet integrated, which belies the quality of the wine. Love the fruit profile of ripe cherries, that contrast with bright acidity. This is a very polished example of a Bordeaux supérieur. Loads of runway ahead of it.
@Mo Salem thanks for opening up your cellar.
