Dense, dark, chocolate laden and loamy with hints of coffee grounds and some au jus starting to develop. This is a big wine that is aging into a masculine direction. Adequate finish and very acceptable for the price. Drink or Hold

Really like the wine. Dark color and intense aromas of black cherry, tobacco and cedar. The filtration process certainly contribute to this with presence of deposit. Tight tanins from the high percentage of Merlot. Still need to breath to show it full ootential.

Medium-bodied, fully mature, soft, elegant-charmer, with a deft touch of cherries, plums, wet earth and a hint of truffle on the nose and palate. Instead of density, you find a light, refined, earthy, plummy wine that is fully ready to go. I'd opt for drinking this over the next 5 years or so for maximum pleasure.

Typical Bordeaux but the mid palate is a little bit empty.
