Needs more time, I think. Still fairly primary and feeling the oak with a tinge of mint on the finish. Not bad at all, but eager to check back tomorrow to see how it evolves.

Medium ruby with slight brickish tinge. Bright bouquet, with aromas of bell pepper, blackberry, cassis, iron, plum, stone. Plus body, plus tannins, plus acid. Grippy yet supple tannins with lengthy finish. Coming from a magnum bottle, still needs more time to develop, but otherwise drinking well. 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc.

12 years old and entering that vibrant, youthful stage. Makes me want to taste it in another dozen. Or every year.

Classic left bank Bordeaux. Blackberry and leather on the nose. Drinking well but missing a touch in the mid palate - which would take up a few notches on the score. Solid effort.
