St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
If you judge this today it's undrinkable. This is like an expresso, a super intense wine that is so tannic it rips your head off. So why the smile? Because I think in 10 years this may be another wine altogether. Needs years to integrate and shed some tannin.

Pretty deep ruby garnet , but thin garnet rim. Quite ripe rich creme de cassis and dark plum , cherry , touch of spice . Quite rich and round on the palate also. Pretty gritty tannins . Dark fruits , cassis , dark plum and touch of spice , cacao . Touch of alcohol noticable. Quite good freshness , and dusty , cocoa stained , mineral , grafite hints . Good length . Still pretty young , this needs a decant or more time in the cellar , better in 5 years and will last well a further 10-15
