tasted after a few hours open. Modern and lush fruits and mouthfeel but unmistakably Bordeaux, soft tannins, nice acid some cedar and earth. Great QPR for Bordeaux. Drink now+

Blackberry fruits, oaky/cedar woodsy notes, not a tobacco note for me at all. Needed 30 minutes to open up, after 3 hours it has a menthol finish that was unpleasant but still retained a surprising amount of fruit. Finish also has a little heat for 13% ABV. I was pouring it for work. I would recommend drinking within 2 hrs of opening. Whole Foods has it for $13.99.

Unpleasant nose -alcohol smell no fruit. Taste very average, not fruit forward. Barely drinkable even after decanting.

Did not care for this wine... Perhaps if decanted all day, might be more drinkable. Will not purchase again.
