Dark purpleish red with just a touch of age on the rim. Light intensity nose with red fruits, touch of oak, cedarwood, tobacco. Palate is medium bodied, easily accessible and friendly with more red fruits, chocolate, just your classic Bordeaux profile. Not very complex, but nice grippy tannins on the finish. Drinks well now, keeps for a while too. Nice "everyday" Bdx.

Dark garnet. A big, powerful wine. Lots of leather, initially some barnyard and VA that blows off quickly, earthy, dark fruited, blood/ferrous, iodine, complex. Palate is full bodied and muscular with very little finesse. Dark fruited with young powerful tannins. This could be a little too much too much for some, it definitely needs some food paired with it. But I like it.

Fully mature, probably drinking at it's peak. Still amazing tannins. Good stuff!
