Tasted a few weeks ago when I gave to Paul for his dinner.
Just a great bargain Bordeaux. So well made, so good with food.

Improved with time
Excellent fruit and balance and tannins have tamed
a bit… green bell pepper note keeps it from a higher
Score from me

Ripe blackcurrant, tobacco, clove and star anise on the nose. Palate is lively and rich. Almost full-bodied and penetrating mid-palate. The depth of the palate is nicely sculpted. Finish is clean and powerful. Ready to drink now.

This wine doesn't have much bouquet, but I think it is delicious. Perfectly balanced fruit, acidity, and tannins, with that wonderful long Ducru finish.
The wine looks purple colored. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It tastes like blackberry and mineral. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Green bell pepper note not evident tonight..
Good structure …. Nice blackberry fruit but hidden behind drying tannins
Could use some bottletime
