Monday, April 16, 2018 - It started with a nose of raspberry and blackberry. Muted fruit, not much complexity. A little tight on the attack, nice mid-palate with very little finish. Kind of just dropped off a cliff at the end.
Decanted and consumed over about two hours.
We had it with carne asada and a grilled pork chop. It complemented the food nicely. Not spectacular but not bad for a relatively young Bordeaux. Looking forward to a few years in the bottle.
