Still young and light, nice balance of tannins, a little fruit showing. Needs to round out more

2015, beautiful vintage, balanced and generous; typical of Bordeaux. Still a little young. Great potential.

2015, beau cru, équilibré et généreux; typique du Bordelais. Encore un peu jeune. Beau potentiel.

First Bordeaux I’ve rated on here, so no Bordeaux comparator. plums, red fruit, chocolate, tannic, wet rocks, and peppery. Vanilla and slightly underripe strawberry on the nose Some acidity gives a punch, but overall kind of flat and short. Chalky mouth feel too.
