violet, pencil shaving, bay leaf, red cherry, blood plum, black currant, cedar. Medium plus acid, seemless as all hell. Medium tannins, nestled so well in the wine. Length medium plus. Banging.

On the palate, dry medium soft tannins. Ripe fruits of; blueberries, blackberries, black currants, black raspberries & raspberries. The core flavor of anise, wood shavings, leathery, mint, eucalyptus, green pepper, tobacco, dark roasted coffee and long beautifully rich finish with perfect acidity.

Deep, concentrated. Good aroma. CS rich. But later on matured Merlot flavor, a bit earthy. Balanced. 2015 RP92 @1200, Medoc - Fleu lis, 191030-191101

Fruity nose with hint of capcium and dark berries. Tannin is strong and coarse. Taste a bit harsh. Need some more time decant. Acidity is considerable to support a long finish. Not bad but a bit pricy for value.
