January 23, 2021 - Dark red, edge pale brown. Medium bq w cedar, tobacco, merlot spice and fruit. Structured wine w high acidity, still fresh and prominent tannins, lean body w merlot fruit. Aftertaste fades early. Generally, this reminds us of how cheaper Bx used to taste way back in the 80:s. So it isn't all bad. Drink up soon.

September 5, 2015 - Classic bordeaux taste of blend of metlot and cab. Still a bit Young and not full bodied. Need some more years.

January 30, 2015 - Decanted for 2 hours before It opens up. Medium bodied, tannic and hollow on the mid palete. Medium and smooth finish.

February 3, 2014 - Nez réticent, fermé, plutot café et pain grillé. La bouche est également fermée, épicé et toasté encore tannique. Un vin à carafer et pas encore prêt à boire et à attendre plusieurs années.
Reluctant and closed nose, rather coffee and toast. The mouth is closed, spicy and toasted, yet tannic. Not yet ready to drink and to wait several years.
