This IS a very nice wine. It may have been in a closed stage when the previous notes were written, both in 2009. Today, 10 years mature, the wine shows a garnet rim with a deep red, clear as glass, Crimson core. The nose was expressive right out of the bottle; Dark leather bound fruits and clay. The palate entry is clean and channels medium level, balanced alcohols and acids through to a back of the mouth, Pleasing, medium plus tannic finish. Sweet, meats and Chocolate stewed raspberry strawberry and plum pudding fill the palate. In my opinion, This is a true to form, right-bank Merlot-based Bordeaux.
