Expectedly the most evolved wine in our Bordeaux masterclass. Trademark Pauillac nose apparently with the notes of smoke, charcoal, and tabacco, along with cassis, plum, and a touch of funky musk. Palate was starting to see more fig-like characters and leathery development. Lots of sticky tannins. An ok wine but perhaps a little more tired than expected. Blend of 50% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 18% Cabernet.

A nice surprise from the difficult 2008 vintage. A little time produces consistently good results in quality wine from Bordeaux. Dark, open, Pauillac with more plummy softness than leaden minerality. Very good with filet.

Great nose and fruit on the palate, but would have liked a bit more complexity of flavor

Loved it, opened the wooden box to see how the dozen was tasting... I'm excited for future years of drinking this one.
