  May 14, 2017 - Tasted over two days. Classic Saint-Julien bouquet. True to place and solidly structured, though lacking power. The most interesting element to this wine is a light oil-like texture that coats the palate and lingers for several seconds. Hoped for more boldness on the second day, which did not materialize. Nice closeout value at $16. Not so much at $30+.

  April 14, 2017 - Not much fruit on the nose, rather chalk and vegetal aromas. Pronounced tannins and solid
  acidity. Sour cherry and blackberry flavors are
  subdued. Tasted 2 hours after opening.

  September 14, 2016 - Love the nose
  Spicy leather that is just soft and nice
  Not as tannic as a St Emilion but still VERY nice
  Easy wine but to quick of a finish
