Bob's Review:
The 2019 vintage is one of my favorites, as a result we had so many great wines to choose from that I had to save this one for this year. I am thrilled to bring you this beautiful wine from northern Medoc because it has big tannins which means it can be laid down for many years. The dark fruit on fruit on the other hand, make this a great wine to be enjoyed now. If you do drink it now be sure to decant it.
