Although many other tasters thought it smelled so bad that it was flawed I managed to forge ahead and drink through anyway. "Cat-food, horsey, earth, corked" but to me, just what it is.

Smokey and tightlengthy mineral finish. Needs some time.
Very nice. What a good French Bordeaux should be. Yummy!
throwing off quite a coffee note on the nose. showing the leaner side of blackberry fruit. easy and accessible structure. nice at $14.
Rather oak dominated nose right now. Auster fruit with nice touches of minerality. In the bordeaux lower fruit style quite good at its price of $14.
