March 20, 2021 - Dark red, whiff of oak, but then the flavour is of harsh oak. Tastes like the fruit is too soft and dilute to have stood up to the oak. Unbalanced.

January 11, 2021 - Not particularly exciting medium light body
Cork was solid. Some expression of bordeaux but light in taste. -

December 1, 2020 - Still drinking very nicely. Cork on this one was starting to go but the wine is fine. Maybe a little funky upon first pour but that blew off quickly enough.

April 28, 2020 - I bought this recently from Gordon's, in Waltham, Mass., for about $20, and drank it on Tuesday with a roast chicken, my wife, and daughter. The wine is just what it is supposed to be -- a moderately robust, ready to drink, well-made Bordeaux, not too alcoholic (13%), oaky, tasting of dark fruits; solid, not particularly exciting. No regrets.

November 17, 2019 - This bottle was great, started a bit funky, dark color, it opened up and smooth tannins with good fruit, an aged wine with something special, drank with local steak, would drink again but won’t find another bottle, a good value, it shows what Bordeaux can produce with a little aging.
