The first surprise with this wine was when I opened it- a plastic cork. That is a first for me in Bordeaux above the ten euro price point. Lots of comments on the cork itself about being “select” and green friendly but still... Medium clear ruby red. Immediate appeal on the nose- soft red berries, plum, mulberry. A touch of cut capsicum, and undergrowth. The palate carries this through, with just a touch more mulchy development and a smooth, even finish. The nose is perhaps a shade ahead of the palate. I wouldn’t keep this any further but it still drinks well, and for EU25 at the supermarket the value is not bad.

Deep red. Lucious fruit nose. Plums, black cherry, mineral, flint, well integrated oak. Approachable tannins, good round palate.
