This Bordeaux has a nice nose but its palate is a little too tannic and a little too hot with alcohol. Perhaps in time it will mature to a higher level. I think there are better value priced 2005 Bordeaux. Worth trying, but not a staple. One bottle is enough for me. Tried it again on the second night and found it to be thin and disintegrated. Right now, this wine is really crappy. Perhaps in time it will improve.

Garnet with typical old French terroir flavors. Good not great! Paired with pasta with a Mediterranean sauce. Perfect

Nice aroma. Round and integrated. Quite complex. Enjoyable but not great.

A very nice Bordeaux--I look forward to seeing how it ages.
