France,
Bordeaux,
Youthful quite intense colour here, still blue-purple. A bit more evolution on the nose. Some finely roasted flavours. A slight hint of coffee and oak, with a mix of red and dark berries, cassis and plum. Palate has good weight, good density, and pretty high extract. It is still appearing youthful there with ridged tannin. However, I don't think it anything harsh. It is just youth showing through. I like core of dark fruit there, it is like freshly crushed berries, with gentle herbal spiciness, notes of sage, plum. It certainly has length and it has good weight. A style that will need another few years to fully open up, but to judge its potential. Good weight, good density, good length. It is still a bit youthful and tight on the finish, but another two to three years in the cellar it should do really well.
