2020 Bordeaux Supérieur AOC "Château L'Ombrière", Bordeaux, France

Fairly polished, delicately nutty and, with aeration, also a little animal scent of black and red berries with a hint of cherries, moderate, somewhat tobacco-like barrel notes as well as leathery and herbal nuances. Ripe, fairly juicy, a hint of plummy fruit, youthful yet crumbly tannins, herbaceous nuances, a hint of pepper, some cocoa and coffee-spicy wood notes, a certain persistence, slightly ashy tones, a hint of salt, good to very good, still very slightly drying finish.
