Youthful acid overtaken by stark tannins and underdeveloped progression.

Another Weekly Wine Committee, this time hosted by @Weston Eidson and @Benjamin Keator ! They knocked it out of the park with French wines! As always, all wines are tasted blind.
Another Bordeaux wine that exhibited classic notes, but this one was juicer than the first. Cranberries, plums and herbs.

Too young. No surprise there. Tannins are firm and tertiary notes starting to come around. Dark and earthy.

Dense, dark, brooding. Still very young; needed some time to breathe but opened beautifully. Despite its high cost, you can taste the breeding.

Kiawah. Red fruit focus, earthy. Smooth and velvety tannins. Medium light bodied. Very easy mellow drinking. Enjoyable.

May 29th, 2023A bit light on the nose, some black fruit, graphite, leather. A nice mouthfeel. A bit creamy. Tannins still holding strong and slightly overpowering the fruit, which is black currant, black raspberry. New leather, a bit of fig. Hard to see this one aging better than it is now, fruit is soft, tannins will soften but don’t see the structure getting better. Nevertheless, enjoyable. Edit: Coravined this and tries again over the next two night. I’ll increase my rating.

Aroma includes ink, Black currant, tabacco,
30 min, concentrated. Oak and complexity. No. Actual concentration came 90 min. Feel powerful. Fruity blue and black berry. 120 min texture is also getting better.
Mid +. Elegant and powerful one
It takes time, at least one hour, two or more to decant it even in 2006 @3100, xiaduo - , 210928-211015

Celebrated NYE early. Decanted for a couple hours. Faint raspberries. Some earthy notes developing. Integrates nicely. Had with beef Wellington v 2.0
