After the Dujac BM last night, today called for something bolder to stand up to a delicious roast pork with all the trimmings

The nose was immense - The black fruits, gentle oak and hint of tertiary flavors exploded from the bottle as soon as this was opened. Some of the CT reviews said this wine was quite closed still, so I opened it with plenty of time intending to decant for a few hours, but it really didn't seem like it needed it so I kept it in the bottle

It drank beautifully; weighty, silky, powerful and a great mix of dark fruit, earth, compost and smoke.

We tend to drink left bank, but this was much better than I was expecting
