  Popped and poured. Richard correctly ID'd the toasty roast coffee nose, and his note is spot on. The palate showed some sweetness but not much depth, or tension. It seemed well done and certainly a good price performer, and you know it is from Bordeaux which is a plus. In a nutshell this wine strikes me as simple but pleasurable in its category.

  Popped and poured and enjoyed over 2 nights. Better on night 2, as the palate seemed to soften and the tannins became more velvetey. The nose displays char, smoke, sweet vanilla and black fruits. The palate is medium full, with some spicy components. Mid palate is a little hollow, but the finish is better and of medium length. Good buy for $20, not sure if it is ever going to show much complexity.

  Pleasant surprise and nice uptick over a Mirambeau a few years back. Red fruit, slight tar and smoke. It's hard to find a balanced, interesting Bordeaux for under $20 -- this is the best at this price I've had in quite a while. Worthy of 1/2 case purchase.

  Smells perfume, but black fruits, good concentration. On the palate, medium bodied, quite sweet, dry and chalky. Tannins are firmish and likely to be better in 2 to 3 years. For me this is slightly over ripen and touch hot. But not bad for money

  Upon tasting this wine again I would rate it a little higher based on its freshness and comjplexity.
