Anthony De Blasi

At opening nor nose or mouth were revealing a lot. After 2 hours the nose opened up but the mouth was still very closed. After 4 hours she revealed her potential. Gave it the benefit of the doubt with a 9.0 but I think this will be rewarding with some additional cellaring. Soc. M. always seems to need a bit more time. So if you have any: hold or give her at least 4h of air...

A bit early. Need to let this one sit for a bit. Pleasant anticipations.

Still very long but opened three hours before drinking. Nice leather/animal nose with fruity taste.

Bordeaux does not get more classical than this. Lean cassis, cigar boxes, a bit of smoke and a tad greenish/drying finish. A treat.

A very classic Haut Medoc from a traditionalist producer. Perfume spices and dust, digestible fresh red fruits and a leather & smoke finish. Limited greenness on this bottle although other have shown it before.

This is Bordeaux in classical optima forma. Blueberry, cassis, cedar, cigarbox, cloves, a bit greenish and pretty long finish. Nice match with venison pappardelle.

This is very classic stuff from a classic vintage. Blackberries, currant, tomato leaves, capsicum,smoke, leather. No nasty green edges on this one. a pretty nice match to a venison stew.
