Looks nice enough, more of an aggressive rather than refined Bordeaux nose with loads of earth dark plum and cherry fruit. Palate is delicious though, ripe and juicy with crisp blackcurrant and plum fruit, firm dry tannins and a long juicy aftertaste. A really nice food wine. Probably lacked enough complexity to be rated high but this is a very tasty meal accompaniment and drinking well now.

moderate depth of color with ruby rim. aromatically right in between being primarily fruit driven and having some tertiary notes... floral red and dark fruits, barrique spice and cedar, some earthy, soil notes. on the palate high acids, moderate depth and palate weight, firm tannins that are of low to moderate ripeness, low to moderate alcohol. wine has a ton of balance, ok length, good intensity and complexity. plenty of finesse, a fine texture, and very good expression of place. drinks well now but will continue to improve in the next 3-5 years. well made, classically styled bordeaux without a ton of intensity and depth.

A very nice traditionally styled Bordeaux. Medium body with dark fruit flavors combined with a touch of cedar and tobacco. Ready to drink and an excellent value.

Good, classic, middle aged Bordeaux. Still got a fair amount of tannin and definitely on the more savoury and tannic end of the spectrum.

this seems pretty much ready to go. A nice quaff, not complex, but showing some nose and Bordeaux character
