Appearance: Bright and clear, it has medium ruby color, with wide garnet rims and legs. Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity of black fruit of plum, blackberry, pungent spice of pepper, sweet spice of cloves, maturity notes of savory, herbaceous notes of green bell pepper. The wine is developing. Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium tannin of ripe and velvety texture. Medium (+) in alcohol, it is of medium body with medium intensity flavors of black fruit such as blackberry and plum, oak notes of toast, sweet spice of cloves. The wine has a medium finish. Conclusion: Good quality mid-priced Bordeaux with a high Merlot proportion in the blend, the wine has a good fruity nose showing plenty of development, with good concentration and fair complexity, though also showing hints of under-ripeness. On the palate it is structured and demonstrating similar flavor characteristics, with reasonable intensity and a fair finish on the length. Ready to drink now, it is not for further ageing.

16 / 20 * * * Visuel:marron assez foncé, opaque.... Olfactif: mûres et pruneaux. Belle évolution Gustatif: sérieux, concentré (café, torréfaction, balsamique). Quelques soupçon salé. Tanins doucement fondus. Longue finale. Je dirais qu'il lui manque juste un peu d'acidité et de rondeur... Ensemble: c'est du Bordeaux!

Didn't decant and ready to drink. Forward nose with green pepper, pepper, smoke and black fruit. Palate is rich and fruity but finished with some rough edges. Score is for the nose.
