Catching up. Subtle and solid but nothing really stands out. Some mushroom and herbaceous qualities, dark red fruit, pencil lead and cedar. I’ve had much better from Lynch Bages.

On the nose, sweet & sour fruits with a touch of barnyard and fresh red flowers.
The body is medium to full. The fruits are gloriously ripe & slightly candied liqueured. Blackberries, dark plum, dark cherries, strawberries & strawberries. Touch of pyrazines. Ground powdery limestone, leather, soft graphite, dry herbs, dry stems, used leather, cedar, fresh tobacco, cigar ash, cherry cola, black turned earth with bright red florals. Great acidity and a well balanced finish that lasts minutes. It’s in a great spot and will continue to improve for another 8-10 years.

Sweet pipe tobacco, black currant, green peppers, violets, medium body, well balanced ruby core with a red brick rim, at his peak now!

This wine needs to breathe, 1.5hr decant. Subtle tannins, less earthy, short note of oak, east drink. Definitely on the safe side, bit uninteresting.
