Le Benjamin de Beauregard, Pomerol

High pitched nose of red berries, some oak, mint. Relatively light mouth feel. Decent finish with acidity, but also a touch of wood showing. P.S. Fruit becomes more apparent in a smaller glass.

Pnp through a vinturri; colour of dark burnt red brick; earthy red fruits on the nose with some dark pencil lead with some hints of bright red cherries. Dark red earthy and leathery cherries on the palate; some black fruits at the end; finish is still short-medium; traces of tannins. This is now ready to drink since last trying it 2+ years ago and I'll probably finish off my last bottle sooner rather than later.

Relatively high pitched nose of raspberry with some earth. Light to medium mid palate, acidity on finish. Ready to drink on opening.

Earthy, muted cherry nose on opening. Strong graphite and muted cherry on palate. Opens over the next two hours to have good length and healthy dark fruit flavors.

Excellent nose of graphite, cherry, mineral. Medium mid palate, moderate finish. Could use a bit more fruit in the middle and on the finish. Otherwise excellent qpr wine.

4 hour decant. Earthy red fruits on the nose along with some cassis and pencil lead. Dark red fruits and some gravelly creme de cassis on the palate. Medium bodied with a short-medium finish. I'd say that this one is coming along since tasting this last. 89/90 pts.

- Ruby color with slow forming legs and aromas of oak and chocolate. It's balanced and has flavours of black pepper with a full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish.

Decanted 4 hours, but I'd suggest a longer decant. Medium purple-ruby semi opaque on the glass. The nose smell of red fruits and like cherry pie with some heat at the end. Some minerality on the palate. Along with that are the dark red fruits and some dark chocolate at the end. Will try again in 2-3 years.

Nice, primarily a Merlot based Bordeaux blend. Red fruits on the palate. Medium finish. I didn't decant at all, will try next time to get the fruit out a bit more.
