Nice easy to enjoy Bordeaux. Went well with grilled steak, roasted potatoes and ratatouille. Decanted about 30 minutes before the meal, mild tannins, medium finish. Nice wine.

A very nice wine but isn't in the merlot perfumy violets Margaux window. This is rather very cabby Jammy note on the nose, red fruity on the palate. Very much in the drinking window, but still with a bit of a tannic bite.. Didn't air, will in the future. Simply a very good Bordeaux from a great Bordeaux vintage, but that's what I hope for from a Cru Bourgeois. Nice enough length. Very foody. A superb value at $30 recently from Crown. Where can you get a very good mature Bordeaux from a great vintage for $30.

Classic Bordeaux. Simple, smooth with low tannins. Subtle fruit. Let breath for at least an hour before enjoying

Pleasingly light weight - even in this vintage. Nice balance and pleasing leafiness.
