“Mixed Bag of Bordeaux”-Tasting (non-blind), in October 2013, Wine 3: The wine was medium to dark ruby in colour and offered plum, blackberry, coconut, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, sweet vanilla and oak spices on the nose. On the palate the full-bodied, thick and creamy wine showed blackberry, back currant, plum, dark chocolate, cocoa, vanilla and crème brûlée, paired with medium to medium-plus acidity, medium-plus tannin and good length of the bitter finish. The wine was completely dominated by the oak and lacked balance. The bitterness and palate-coating new oak left and unpleasant aftertaste and mouthfeel. Drink now and over the next two to three years.

Good Bordeaux at a low price. A bit international style.

Somewhat muted Bordeaux. Undefinable berries, wood, and stone.

Excellent value and has aged well in 7 years. Nice balance and smooth finish.
