  I thought all my bottles were long since drunk so I was pleased to discover this one at the back of a shelf. I think that it has darkened and become more complex and savoury than before with the 20% Malbec contributing a lot of that character. I need to seek out more bottles from this estate. Good+.

  This is really excellent value right-bank claret at c.€9. Rich savoury fruit, suave texture but enough acidity and tannic structure to be never cloying. It could hold its own as a ringer with St.Emilion costing two or three times as much. Good+.

  This wine is still showing very well, rich fruited but lively with good structure. Some bottles remain at the store inviting a repeat purchase. Good+ wine and fine QPR at c.€9.

  PnP and let sit in the glass for about 10 minutes before sampling. Color is inky purple. Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, mocha, vanilla and a bit of stem. On the palate lush fruit and vanilla with some tannin. Drinking with and after dinner of grilled hamburgers, a tossed green salad with some fried Prosciutto, and some leftover faro salad with fennel, parsley, lime basil, leftover corn. A nice wine with food and after food. About 90 minutes after dinner the wine is a pleasant, medium bodied wine with a hint of sweetness in a somewhat mouth-drying finish.
