Nose promised more than the wine delivered - lacking in the mid-palate. Better with food (84) than on its own (82). To be fair this was a poor year for B'x.

Drank a few bottles over the last 2 months. All still good despite its age and RP’s recommendation to drink it between 2011-2014. Not a very good year, but a friendly, medium bodied wine. Easily accesible. Some hints of cherry and laurel.

Ok, first let me say that I am very critical of French wines. I usually dismiss them as lackluster and not to my taste profile. So, looking at a $19 bottle I was prepared to pour it down a drain. But, hold on, this is a winner of a wine. It was beautiful in the glass, fair to the nose, but really shined in the mouth. Nice big flavor profile and reasonable finish. Dang, wish I had more of this in cellar. Drink up, toast to the French.

Enjoyable with a variety of foods. A little leather and funk on the nose. Medium/light weight. Well resolved tannins, medium acidity, sufficient fruitiness. Shortish finish. Very pleasant.
