Community Tasting Notes 3

  January 10, 2015 - Compared to the Goudichaud we testing this against, this was the loser. Tannins were bracing: If it ages a little more, I imagine it will round out more, but I'd rather reserve cellar space for better complexity. Cloying, bitter finish with savory at the front.

  August 18, 2014 - Second time I have had this. Ditto to what Motz wrote. I like the mineral and good tannic finish which is sticking with me. Only 12.5% alcohol. 88 plus for this $12 Bordeaux

  May 12, 2014 - A satisfying, true to its roots, earth and mineral driven Bordeaux. A little thin.
