A soft, mature nose with notes of stables, moist earth, vintage leather and red currants. Hanging in there.
The taste is mature and velvety with notes of dried red fruit, cold coffee and earth. A tad short but a nice drink.

2019 Château La Tour de By
From a half bottle. A young, perky nose with notes of black currants, graphite and tobacco leaves. Very good.
The taste is tight and somewhat anonymous, but with some heavy swirling there are notes of black currants, cigarette ashes and pencil shavings. Needs 5+ years.
