  A good average Bordeaux, not meant in a bad way. Was great with shrimp and perogies. Bought a case in 08, got much better with age. Best $10 wine in my cellar.

  smoky, spicy, with just enough fruit to make this an excellent quaff. Don't look for sweet flavors -- this is a Cahors -- and it probably needs a few more years to reach its peak, but this was great with duck confit and shows lots of promise.

  Mid crimson with light rim. Sweet and fresh nose, chocolate, herbs, meat, dark berry fruit, also blueberry, earth and leather notes. Medium body with a good acidity, milk chocolate, meaty/bloody, grainy tannins in the finish. Also a perfumed note, lavender, mint. Evolved well since the last bottle. Good value. 13% alc. 86

  I liked this wine when I first tasted it two years ago but this time it came across as tight and restrained when I opened it. It did not seem balanced on the palate and the flavors were very tart, but the nose was a very nice mix of blackberry, plum, pencil lead and smoke. That was just night one. What impressed me is how much this wine evolved. I drank the wine over four nights and It got better each night. This was a surprisingly interesting wine, especially for the price. Wish I had a few more bottles to age.

  I opened a bottel ayear ago and it was harsh. The year has made a difference. The nose ihas deep dark fruit aromas . The tannins are present but sudued and the wine has a mellow and consistent taste and flavor. All in all a very nice old world malbac
