Piastraia Bolgheri Superiore 2017, Michele Satta, Tuscany, Italy
Blackberry, blackcurrant, plums, tobacco, leather, tannic finish. Drinkable now but give it another two to three years for the tannins to die down.

Les Tours de Laroque 2016, Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, Château Laroque, Familie Beaumartin, Bordeaux, France
Give this a decant for at least thirty minutes. Blackcurrant and plums, some red fruits, tobacco and cedar. Some tannins on the finish. This is very drinkable but it would be at its best in about three years I think when the tannins have mellowed a bit.

Lan Rioja Crianza 2010, Bodegas Lan, Spain
Smoky toasty oak, red fruits, liqourice and spice in drying tannic finish. Still very youthful; would never guess this was 11 years old.

Clos La Gaffelière St. Émilion Grand Cru, Comte de Malet Roquefort, Bordeaux, France
Blackberry and blueberry, cedar, tobacco; the finish was a bit flat. Was expecting a bit more concentration but not a bad drop.
