  Dark black cherry and graphite on the nose. Just opened and going fairly strong. And black cherry fruit across the palate as well. Length on the back.

  Ruby color and Purple hues, black cherry aromas and vanilla Smokey undertones come out in the bouquet , seductive texture, dark fruit flavors of plums, emergence of dark chocolate hints has a well-balanced structure, firm tannins. The wine is developing nicely, will check back in a couple years! 53% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc

  Garnet red colour. Berry fruit and aniseed nose. Sweet red currant on palate. Medium bodied, soft tannins with shortish finish. A pleasant, easy drinking but not particularly remarkable Bordeaux wine.

  Less distinct than I remembered, nice red fruits but a bit of a hollow mid-palate. Perfectly drinkable but not remarkable.

  On the lighter side but well-balanced. It’s good but not distinct. Mostly red fruits. Ready.
