In its antique bottle, this wine (one of a limited series) is laden with more wood than fruit. It will certainly soften, allowing the black fruits to come through, but this amount of wood will be hard to balance out. Drink from 2020.

Seriously structured, this wine is almost too rich. It is concentrated, with dense tannins, dark chocolate and cocoa flavors. The juicy, jammy black fruits come with the acidity to give the wine some welcome crispness and fruitiness. Drink from 2020.

One in a series of small cuvées from the Right and Left banks, this pure Cabernet Sauvignon (from the great 2010 vintage) is still young. It does have impressively concentrated fruit and powerful tannins to allow it to develop well. Drink this impressive wine from 2019.
