  Obviously still young, but was pleasantly surprised for a budget Bordeaux, as this had a decent balance between fruit, acidity and tannins. Classic cassis, blackberry and oak on the nose, the only complaint perhaps being a bit one-dimensional. A decent weight on the palate, with firm but slightly dusty tannins, but with enough acidity to keep it fresh. A bit more saline and mineral on the finish.
  
  Robust, classic styled, and linear, but a well made value option that should improve with another year or two in bottle to soften the tannins and build a bit more complexity.
