In a much better place than 18mos ago. Loads of cassis on the nose and a lot of earth on the palate. Fine tannins. Quite masculine. Someone said it best: Catena on the front and Lafite on the back. Pretty much right.

Popped and poured; consumed over two days. Best on Day 2 IMO. Creme de cassis, tobacco, cherry liqueur, earth. Substantial but fine tannins. Medium acid. Long finish. Come across a touch hot.

From Argentina, this half Can half Malbec has notes of sweet tobacco, black raspberry and mocha. Medium tannin and a peppery acidity. #caro #mendoza #argentina #baronsderothschild #lafite

Earthy, peppery, with lots of grapefruit like acidity. Lots of complex layers, with a great finish.

Celebrating my first day as a college prof with a cool wine. 2013 is kind of tight but I expect it to open up nicely.
