Bought a 2016 after really enjoying the 2018 vintage. This showed a little less favorable with black plum and cherry fruit notes followed by old leather, peppercorn and tobacco. Ripe, chewy tannins and dry with a tart, lingering finish.

Consistent with past vintages. Moderate fruit and tannin. Med(-) body, excels as an inexpensive daily drinker Bordeaux. On par with 2014 and up a point from 2015. 89 pts or 3.7 stars.

5 year mark for this value Bordeaux. Blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cab Franc and 10% Cab Sauv, which I gave 2h of air. Pale ruby color. Aromas of dried strawberry, pomegranate, campfire, white pepper, bay leaf and a hint of leather. Red fruit on the palate, with a smoky, dusty middle, supported by fine-grained tannins. Shows some character and structure and, while nothing particularly above average, for the price it's a real pleaser.

Fairly balanced wine w/moderate legs. Nose was nicely rounded w/fruit forward presence. Fruit of soft cherries w/fair finish. Not exceptional but a good daily drinker that held well with BBQ Brisket.

Not a bruiser by any means, but maintains enough tannin, acidity to keep it. Rolling along. Tart and light ,will save the last bottle for summer 22'

Raspberry and cherry with a core of stone. It is good now but I think it could even be better with time.

Surprisingly good Bordeaux for around $10. Well balanced. 13.5% alcohol. Evolved nicely over two evenings.

Notes of cherry and pepper. Overall liked this wine. A little on the drier side.

Muted fruit, quite acidic, almost no tannins (really?) Suckling gave this a 90 according to the sticker - so my 86 sounds about right.
