nfurlong Does not like this wine: 84 points
July 13, 2019 - garnet color; graphite raspberry candy on the nose; loads of citrus on the palate with red fruits and low tannins. A bit sour, reserved, even three hours after opening. Not my style.

December 30, 2017 - Overly bright, sharp, tart wine. Medium bodied, blending cranberry with herbs, espresso and strawberry, in the finish. Clearly not my style of wine.

January 26, 2011 - UGC Bordeaux Tasting (Boston): Med+ body. Rich, pencilly stuff going on. Nice, but a little different then the others. Would have probably thought it was left bank. 90-92
