  May 16, 2015 - Purplish ruby in color. Quite assertive on the nose, with fruit aromas of black cherry, currant, and plum, as well as some smoke, fresh tobacco, pepper, a bit of oak, and a distinct meaty character suggestive of raw steak and blood. Very masculine and substantial smelling. With air, a spicy floral quality comes out as well. Packs a whollop of flavor on the palate, with intense, ripe, but dry cherry and currant fruit, a good dusting of spice, and that same savory, meaty characteristic from the nose. Very hearty. But it's only medium bodied and not overbearing, with a surprisingly supple structure. The tannins are plenty prominent but very fine-grained, and all is in balance. The finish is dry and firm, with good intensity and length.
  
  I disagree with most of the reviews here. This is very good Bordeaux and very impressive wine for just over $20. Bravo.

  April 6, 2015 - Dégusté aux Fougères à Chelsea. Assez simple, belle rondeur et bel équilibre. Cassis, mûre, cerise, tabac, note herbacée.

  November 10, 2014 - British Airways - Business & Lounges; 11/10/2014-11/15/2014 (Sydney, London): Very light-bodied claret. Good deep colour, but it flatters to deceive. The flavours are thin stalky cherries, with soft but gritty tannins. There’s a green touch too. Reckon this was cropped pretty highly. In BA’s Singapore lounge, and served a bit warm too, which hasn’t helped the cause.

  June 23, 2014 - Avons dégusté ce vin, sans le passer en carafe, avec une salade de canard confit ... Premier commentaire, le vin est trop jeune on se prive du meilleur qu'il pourrait nous offrir ... Robe de couleur grenat assez fonce ... Nez sur les fruits rouges et le poivron ... Papilles sur les asperges et les fruits rouges ... Tanins encore très serres et finale très intéressante pour un vin de ce rang ... A laisser vieillir encore 3 ans ...
