Berries, animal furs, anises, honey, mints, forest floor, and pencil shavings in the elegant nose; acidic and concentrated on the palate, dark berries and chocolate, and tannins; long finish mirroring the palate; overall, 90-91 points; good QPR and quite enjoyable old Bordeaux style at this stage.

This is a really great-value Médoc Cru Bourgeois that is drinking perfectly right now. Classic aromas (black fruit, damp leaves, cedar, pencil shavings) and similar flavors, with a distinct toasty note. Extremely smooth tannins (too smooth?). Not really complex but just enough going on. So easy to drink and enjoy. Not sure it will improve much with age, but likely has a good 2 years ahead of it, at least. Great little wine.
