Needs decanting or time in the glass to fully express itself. At first pour it was all about black olives and chewiness and then over time the ripe black plums and cherries appeared and things mellowed out in a good way. #bordeaux #claret #stestephe #leftbank #leftbankbordeaux

Vintage 2010 / Fine complexity is developing, with a multi-layered smell. Vannilla, brushwood and stable. A taste with chocolate and mocca. And cherries. Years and years ahead but certainly a great joy to drink after aeration. #meyney #saintestephe

Meyney is always solid. Does it even need a note? You got it - dark fruit, bakers chocolate, graphite, smoked meat. Just barely approaching drinkability.

Still a purple rim in colour, red fruit, cedar, laurel, pencilshaving in smell, light chocolate impression, earthy taste with power, good aftertaste, nice acidity. 55% cab sauv, 30% merlot, 15% petit verdot, served it with Cantonese filet of beef, paksoi, garlic and onions. Lovely.

40 min decant and we caved: Heady scent of savory cherry cake. Some deep birch beer and cola candy, snappy outro, redolent of flower petals.....totally vibrant now. Herbs and spices on the finish, all the sweetness diminishes and it’s got a pleasant bitter ring. Jess says ”girls like it.”
