(at Pietro Prime - West Chester) Very satisfying wine. Deeply colored garnet. Dark plum, licorice and a bit of glue on the nose. The palate is more precise with good acidity mixed in with the fullish fruit profile. Lacking complexity and the stuffing to make it special. That said, a full mouthful of Bordeaux for uncritical dinner drinking. (88)

Deep in color, the wine offers licorice, crushed stone and dark cherries from start to finish. On the palate you also find polished, silky dark, red fruits with more of that crushed rock sensations. This is the best and sadly the penultimate vintage for the owner Patrick Leon, who recently passed away.

Expected more from a 2016 Bordeaux, quite thin, strong acidity. Unbalanced and not the most pleasant.

A nice red blend. Good with short ribs and pasta.

A bit of density with violet and ripe plum, the tannins are fine enough, with decent acidity that lends juiciness. 87-89
