Classic Bordeaux nose and palate. Pure fruit and long finish with tannins still present. Not quite as complex as I was hoping for with few secondary notes at this stage.

Deep but not brilliant garnet shows it's a bit aged. Nose shows little but some pencil shavings, oak, licorice and just a slight hint of horse poop. On the palate it's very dry without any sweetness, little fruitiness, little flavor contents to appreciate. Medium body. It's a bit tannic but not structured at all. Short finish, just a little hint of clove. 2 hours didn't make it open, so maybe that's it. Next day it even showed dirty cabbage flavor. Hollow, and no trace of richness, disappointing for the price, $37.

Classic cassis and and dusty leather nose. Balanced austere fruit, acidity and moderate tannins improved steadily after being decanted two hours and while in the glass. Moderate length finish.

Classic cassis and black fruit nose. Well integrated dark berry fruit, acidity and moderate tannins. Lengthy finish.

2nd wine of the chateau. Drinking nicely now. Medium weight Medoc, smooth tannins, light oak smokiness, plum and berries and a very clean finish.
