June 10, 2023 - Union Grands Crus Bordeaux (UGC) 2020 Tasting (Hangar 14, Bordeaux): Good balance and accessible. Straightforward and honest. A good effort for the vintage.

October 27, 2022 - This is an overpriced table wine. Will not purchase again.
Nice rich ruby color. Still plenty of tannins (medium plus).
Flat palette initially. Subtlety raspberry, red currant notes coming through but not refined.
Unexciting finish. Falls short.
Tannins softened nicely after 30 minutes in the glass / decanter. But the nose died off from nice red fruits to nothing.
Lot of sediment for a wine this young. -

July 13, 2018 - 50 Merlot 45 Cabernet Sauvignon 5 Petit Verdot
Rich and deep crimson. Fresh and youthful.
Aromas of fresh berries, cranberries, raspberry, violet, new wood, spice box, with a trace of cattle range.
Structured and concentrated on the palate. Med pls tannin, body, and acidity. Red fruit, milk chocolate, graphite, pencil lead, cedar, mint. Lasting and chewy aftertaste.
This is not Margaux that I know. It's modern for sure but it's still very much a Bordeaux. Very much drinkable now with 2 hours of air. It will probably age well too with that tannin and acidity structure. But this is not Margaux despite what is said on the label .... 89+
