In a tasting, up against 5 classified growths. This one was younger (and cheaper) than the others, but was a nice surprise. Tasted mature and balanced. One would need to drink this soon, it doesn't have much left, but it was quite nice this evening.

Dark red a with hint of brown around periphery, muted bouquet on the nose, mid-palate has cassis, licorice, currant and blackberry. Medium/long finish with flat energy but pleasant enough lingering. My fault for rushing without letting it breathe. Suggest 2-3 hours decanting.

Drank at a Cru Bourgeois tasting. Showed well. Did not decant, and took it from the cellar about an hour befor the tasting. Needed time in the glass to warm a bit, but then showed nice balance. Good color, with just a hint of brown at the edges. Dark fruit, cherries, cassis on the palate, medium/long finish. Seems to have some time left, belying the community drinking window. Quite a nice Bordeaux for the price.

Light, thin, one dimensional, table wine. Nothing special, but easy drinking and palatable.

Found just to be ok. Had a bit too much bite for my tastes. Can find much better wines for the price.
