  Good nose, abrupt finish, easy drinker. Tastes like a $10 wine, but I paid $36, so won't buy again.

  Definitely earthy. Not terribly familiar with French wines. This one is past its prime, but it's not bad

  Years ago, I had a bottle of the 2000 during a court of Master Sommeliers class. Even the MW/MS remarked at the extraordinary quality at the price point. This is a disappointment after that. This is simply a “correct” Bordeaux and unfortunately lacks fruit and charm. Medium bodied with spice, Old wood and a little black currant. Drink now. 87.
