Great value Haut- Medoc...this bottle is singing. On nose: violets, stemmy medicinal notes( in a good way). On palate:above flavours enhanced with a 2 hour decant.....an expansion of cigar tobbaco, cassis, forest floor,red plum flesh, and finish of Kona coffee and a ghost of rosemary, on a medium body of softening tannins, due in part to the 22% Petit Verdot, acting as a foil to the 47% Cabernet, and 31% Merlot....this wine is 8 years old, drinking well, with years to go....reminiscent of the 2018 Ch. Lanessan in passing.

Another bdx qpr killer, under €15. Plush and dense, with textured / layered dark fruit and chewy tannins on the finish. Love the herbaceousness that kicks in to give balance and complexity. Has the mouthfeel, refinement, and structure of wines 3x the price. Excellent, just entering its window, bright future ahead.
Soft tannins and a spicy, floral and ripe nose are coupled with fresh, smoky black cherries in the finish. This should be quite tasty on release. The wine was made from a blend of 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot and 22% Petit Verdot and reached 13.5% alcohol. 89-91 Pts

Earthy, chalky, good (read med+) acidity, plummy fruit, hint of tobacco and green pepper - everything I'd want in a wine of this price.

Earthy, fruity, opened two hours before tasting and was just as good the next day

PNP. Floral and oak aromas, on the palate crunchy black fruit, blackberry, black cherry. Earthy, dusty tannins, balanced acidity. Nice value BDX.

Leather and floral nose. Well balanced acidity. Red berries and plum. Good value for money wine.

The wine is medium body, Nice Bordeaux style with black fruits and tannins, soft and fresh. Little bit sweet and less acidity.
