January 14, 2020 - Straightforward, clean, silky, lighter texture.Great entry-level wine to Bordeaux that is balanced and gives a good sense of what should be there without anything that shouldn’t be there, if that makes sense. The wine is precise and a great pairing for an elegant dish. Well worth the entry-price.

December 17, 2019 - Very nice! Not as complicated as Lafite but a nice everyday wine. Note: drink the whole bottle after it’s opened ... even with removing the air for overnight storage, not as nice the next day.

April 17, 2018 - While not as refined as the first and second wine of this Chateau, this is still an excellent wine (especially for the value). Light and crisp with surprisingly soft tannins, I was also surprised with the slight fruitiness of this blends taste. It definitely needs time for the nose to open to its fullest.
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis), mineral and black pepper. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and mineral. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.
