Very tasty claret. I was surprised at how young and vigorous this wine is; it is still two or three years from its peak. Nice dark color, quite aromatic, not complex, but good depth of flavor. Tastes like a good Bordeaux should taste in a good vintage.

Good example of the broad flavor profile that bordeaux offers. Herbal notes on the nose that carries over to the pallet. Not a great wine but a very welcome releaf from my typical California wines.

taste: nowhere near as complex on the palate as the nose with herbs, spices, blueberries, and celery seed tones
overall: a very good wine. The nose is excellent, but the palate is lacking in depth and the flavors don't come across as complex as teh nose does. Very smooth attack of herbs with a elery seed+blueberry finish

The nose on this was insane. Wonderful mushrooms and wet soil. A lot of earth on the palate, but plenty of fruit too. Incredible for the price.

Nice straightforward little wine with herbal and spice overtones.

Fall Bachanalia (Green Dolphin St, Chicago IL): nose: nice soft nose of herbs, spice, floral tones, some celery seed notes, and bits of blueberries
taste: nowhere near as complex on the palate as the nose with herbs, spices, blueberries, and celery seed tones
