April 13, 2017 - Still decent in 2017. Residual tannins, a bit of black cherry. Very enjoyable.
July 4, 2012 - A superb wine for its price,still lot of freshness, fine tanin and blackcurrant fruit, delicious with roast lamb .can age another 5 years .better to decantate acouple hours before
June 15, 2011 - Don't think Bordeaux is my cup of tea however we did enjoy this bottle: plum and leather, old world and perfect with the roast pork. Definitely a food wine, as most old world wines are. I think it is mature but able to hold for a few more years.
December 27, 2010 - I opened this bottle about four hours before dinner. Initially it was tight so I decanted. Four hours latter the wine is showing well. The color is a bright inky garnet. The nose is fruity with wild cherry and spice notes. The flavors are balanced but the wine still has a lot of tannin. Flavors of tart fruit with spice, tar, graphite and some acidity. This is by far the best bottle of this to date and my last bottle as well. I believe that this will will last at least another 5 years, maybe more.
April 13, 2010 - Definitely fully mature but still showing some fresh plum, cherry and rasberry fruit. It now has a nice soft and ideal mouthfeel, and some secondary savory notes.
March 28, 2010 - Lush wine with violets, plums, Indian spices and minerals. The oak is well balanced with fruit for now, but I would drink now for its pleasure.
October 10, 2009 - Definitely better on the second night: it had fleshed out a lot more. Didn't take notes, but a solid if unspectacular minor Bordeaux.
August 19, 2008 - Dark red. Roasted coffee and chocolate dominate the aromas, but there's also some whiffs of citrus and strawberry to round things out. The palate is chunky and dense enough to stand up to the oak. Solid and refreshingly unpretentious modern-styled right bank wine.
December 9, 2007 - Decanted for four hours. Deep and dark with concentrated fruit and good tannin structure. Nice plum, cigar and spicebox on the palate with a moderate finish. Full bodied. Will not crack another one for a good 12 months. This was very nice for the price.
July 29, 2007 - deep dark garnet color. aromas of cherry, plum, pepper, leather, olives and tar notes, subtle oak, and hints of bugspray and petrol. med . to full bodied. bright fruit and earth balanced with firm tannins and long finish.
