Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend

Capitol Region Wine Collectors Club (WCC), Bordeaux; 30 March 2023 at Yono's, Albany, NY

Floral perfume, earth, Apple, dried blackberry, chocolate covered cherry, raspberry, baking spices, nice backbone of tannins and acidity.

For an off vintage this aged gracefully and was impressive

My expectations were low and unfortunately they were met. Sherry like nose and a bitter palate. Cork intact but totally soaked thru.

Weekend with Friends and average wines…😎 what a overachiever today!

Sat what you want, some of the depth was gone, but I thought it was exceptional.

Also picked up in auction. Wow. This is really great. The cork was like a musty old basement but no not the wine. Great nose. . Also at Oak Grill. Second pour getting metallic. Drink up.

Fantastic

Alive, fresh and stunning.
Medium bodied, core of bright fruit in the center with a meaty exterior. Soy sauce. Cassis. Incredible. Birthday dinner with friends and an amazing line up of wines.

Took a gamble on this wine. Purchased with no documented provenance and a slight under fill. The nose was pretty good. Color was bright. Lots of mineral, namely iron with hints of what the wine was in it's prime. Overall, the gamble paid off.
