PnP. A fairly dark garnet with clear browning / bricking. Wine seemed rather closed during the 90 min or so we drank it. Kept wondering whether it would show differently if we had decanted it for 2h. A fairly thick and very smooth palate with earth, herbs, hazelnut and a bit of oak. A reserved wine but with class and style, in the way a younger Chateau Montrose does if you are into BdX. Medium finish. Very nice

The last of a case purchased 3 years ago. A great table wine to the end. Pair with usual suspects: marinara, pizza both white and red. This gets a silver star in my household for duty well served.

Very easy to drink wine on a Sunday afternoon after pumpkin picking.
