Wow this is drinking really well now. Lovely nose and delicious, juicy palate of red fruit, cassis, licorice, and just enough tannic bite in the mid-palate, but with a clean finish–no bitterness. My wife enjoyed it too and she's not a huge fan of BDX in general.
I bought several of these at the local grocery store for $16/btl back in early 2013 and they were kept in my 55°/70%RH cellar since. These will easily make it to 15yrs old and maybe beyond given good storage conditions. Excellent QPR.

A little bit of age has transformed this wine. Gorgeous, fragrant Bordeaux nose. Juicy red fruit, licorice, cassis, and tobacco palate. Wonderfully smooth and balanced. This is an off the charts QPR at $16!

(Château La Grange Clinet Premières Côtes de Bordeaux) Aromas and flavors of vanilla icing and bright cherry dominate this fresh, well-rounded, fruit-forward wine, which shows some herbal spiciness on the long finish. Bordeaux Is Côtes Country

Lovely balanced and mature food wine. Had with grilled steak. Black fruit, round tannins. Only bottle in the cellar.... Sorry I don't have more.

Russk. 88-. I dumped much of it out. It's not getting any better.
