Bordeaux, France
Graphite, blackberry, and vanilla. A touch sharp on the tannins initially, needs room to breath. Dark ruby in color and rich and earthy in taste.

So I drank two bottles of bdx side by side this weekend. This, fourth (!) wine of '20 Angelus and Les Cruzelles '18 from the Durantou family. Both a Pomerol blend of merlot and cabernet franc. I liked this the most and I give this a 92 for sheer pleasure and unbeatable qpr. The cab franc gives this just the right amount of of medicinal herbs to keep things moving on the palate. A serious, balanced and complete big(ger) wine that is drinking well already at three years after bottling. Bought a sixpack at around 20€ a bottle. Will stack this if this comes along from a decent future vintage.
