Narun P

48 M, 38 CS and 14 CF with 7.3% vin de presse.

Intense garnet, transparent, compact rim.

Leafy cabernet aroma intermingling with subtle floral spices. Only slightest sign of hot vintage ripe fruit.

On the palate, it shows dusty tannin, med plus acidity, med bodied. Classic Bordeaux profile with dark cherry, cassis, gravel soil tone, hint of smokiness.

Very pretty wine that can be kept for 10 more years at least, though no reason to wait. 89.

The 2010 was terrific. This 2009...Not so much.

Ripe blackberries, black plum, dark cherries, stewed strawberries, dry stones & earth, leather, tannins still need to resolve. Buy a bunch of this wine and drink it in 10 years as it will surely over-deliver it's price point.

Enjoyed this on my 50th at a delicious restaurant / Bloom 11 Upper Baggot Street, Dublin, Ireland. We enjoyed this with Carpaccio Wild Kildare Lamb, Haunch of wild Wicklow Venison and Fillet of Irish Angus beef. The wine was decanted and gave off notes of earth and cedar. Nice structure with a fresh soft finish of licorice and black current. Delightful wine...
