Château Haura
Graves Red Bordeaux Blend
Graves, Bordeaux, France
Drank 9/7/18.
Starting to open up some of the lesser '10's. This is showing well, but could hold another few years.
Nose of coffee, tilled soil, graphite, and some light blackberry notes. Flavors of black berry, with plum and earthy notes mix with medium, well integrated dusty tannins. Very well balanced. A pleasure to drink.

Beautiful aromatics, well balanced with soft tannins. Drinking great right now. I opened this in honor of the passing of the great scientist Mr. Dubourdieu

As smooth as smooth can be. The balance leans a tough towards sweet woody notes, and pipe tobacco. It is not complex by any stretch of the imagination, but it's just delicious.

Fool me once, Saranty Imports, shame on you. Fool me repeatedly, Saranty Imports, shame on me.

Not bad, but not good. Probably could've hung out in the vino temp another 2 years. Not much flavor, but did have a nice buttery after taste.

From a Magnum, pencil lead, dark fruit, and cedar. Amazingly long finish.

Dark ruby look but very light taste. Just okay. Nothing special.
