  March 10, 2024 - Packed with classic Bordeaux elements. Cassis, cigar box, mint and blue flowers are very present in the nose. Cool and expressive.
  
  Lean but strong on the palate. Salty, fruity and mineral. A balanced wine that leaves you very satisfied

  April 15, 2023 - Medium full bodied. Dark fruited with some tart red berries. Complex and balanced. Better than expected for a $15 bottle of wine. Very good to excellent.

  March 20, 2023 - This was completely unexpected. A traditional well made Bordeaux, a couple of years off its peak. Everything about it was slightly better than expected, the nose more complex, the balance really solid, some nice complexity with spice, red fruit and a tiny bit of herb, and a much longer than expected finish. At $14, this is a steal.

  July 10, 2022 - Little young, definitely a young Bordeaux. Nothing exciting as of the present.

  June 1, 2022 - Not bad, especially for only 6 euros. Quite a ripe attack of blackberry and dark cherry, but just before the latter veers off into full-throttle kirsch flavours, along comes a big dollop of freshness from the 23% Cabernet Franc to cool things down with a flourish of crisp, almost chalky blackcurrant. Should improve further.
