  (Decanted for one hour)
  Deep red colour with a maturing nose showing vanilla oak notes and opens up with red berries fruitiness, Corinth and a touch of leather. Softening tannins on the palate with a touch of vanilla oak before red berries on the mid before the lengthy balanced finish.
  (Best 2018-2023)

  I quite like this. Very French, very classic Bordeaux. Definitely ready, some hints of maturity, noticeable oak, fruit is perhaps a little muted but very enjoyable if a little unpolished perhaps. Think of a run down French brasserie.

  Red fruit. Game.
  Quite simple though pleasant.
  Not going anywhere. Drink now.

  This is a nice surprise for a $20 2008 cru bourgeois. Deep ruby red, with earthy cedar notes on the nose. Medium bodied, dark fruits, cedar and vanilla notes, some mushroom notes and barely perceptible tannins. Has nice balance with enough acidity to be a nice food wine but also easy to sip as well.

  A very solid wine with good QPR for a bourgeois. Deep ruby, smoky earth with a touch of cedar on the nose. Medium body and easy drinking, but a very good food wine.
