I also have a weak spot for Pomerol’s and right banks from St. Emilion. This find delivers on that Merlot inspired approach. Subtle. Expressive.

Pop and pour. Well, wow, I should have bought more of this. On the nose: dense plum, strawberry, cinnamon, intense without being over the top. On the palate: tar, blackberry, charcoal, dense and dark fruited...so well-balanced, fantastic length and juiciness and the finely grained tannin sneaks up on the finish.

did a pop and pour and feeling like i should have let this open up for 4+ hours instead. very intensely plummy, waiting for more character to reveal itself. will try again on day 2.

not loving this one. has a cardboard thing going on and thinking it might be corked. it’s very tightly wound other than that, really very little expression.

Cocoa and dust in the nose. Nice chocolate on the palate. Plush cherries. Spice. Really nice richness. Grippy tanins. Definitely has that 15 oomph. Bought from Fass Selections
