Ripe cherry and raspberry, smooth but substantial tannins, with good acidity and a modest finish. Very nice. Too bad I haven't seen newer vintages of this chateau.

Nicely evolved, with secondary flavors emerging. Cherry/berry fruit with good acidity and a little funk. Well resolved tannins make this easy to enjoy.

Tobacco and saddle leather on the nose. Restrained black fruits on the palate. Firm tannins. Medium acidity. Short finish. Paired well with spicy chicken burritos.

Has a funky odor, with strong raisin flavors. I haven't had this before so maybe it's just past the optimal drinking window.
