Fine silky tannins give way to blackberries and spices. Smooth as a babies bottom With medium acidity. Drinking beautifully with 40 min decant.

The nose is a tapestry of ripe plum, cedar, and smoky graphite, with a vivid burst of crème de cassis and violets. The palate is plush and sleek, offering concentrated blackberry and earthy notes framed by suave tannins. Finish is long and savoury.

Purchased at around $40. What a value!

Disappointing Bordeaux. Too young and harsh tannins. Thin flavor and too acidic.

Reasonable showing. Starting the downslope, so drink up.

This was lovely. It need to lay down for 5+ years but wanted to try.
