Good - representative of Pessac with black cherry, pipe smoke, and earth. Not overly complex and maybe a touch flabby, but flavory and reflective of its terroir.

Agree with Maestro on the note. Nice positive surprise, classic bdx with all the right stuff in all the right places. Good backbone makes this a well structured wine with great balance and good performer at this point. From magnum

Fuktig løv/skogbunn, men også en god del frukt - distinkt solbær. Flott balanse i munnen, god syrlighet. Etterhvert litt sjokolade og noe mer kompleksitet.

Now that's great quality for this price point. All you want in a mature wine from Graves for a very reasonable price. Cassis, pencil shavings, earth, tobacco, and enough fruit and acidity to balance everything out. Absolutely gorgeous paring with Ribeye steaks and similar dishes. Probably peaking now.

Hints of Graves aromas of tobacco and leather, but mostly simple fruit. Good for the price.
