a nice classically styled right bank that is great with hearty foods. lots of non fruit notes of earth, leather, and tobacco, along with plum and cassis. really nice acid to complement the remaining tannins to really make it work well with hearty food. light on the booze as well. needs 90 minutes of air to come together. an old school "bistro" style i really like

2 hour slow ox. Nose: Complex aromas of dust, minerals and earth, pencil lead, mint and black fruits. Palate: Soft tannins, decent acidity, medium richness and black fruits. The earthiness of the nose comes through with a fairly long elegant finish. The palate is a tad thin but that’s the only shortcoming and at only $20/bottle it isn’t an issue at all. This punches way above its weight class. Solid!

Tasty earth, dark fruit, leather, and pencil lead on the nose and savory palate with a moderate finish.

Third bottle had a bit of a tennis ball smell and flavor. Enjoyable bottle but mot my favorite.
