Fairly good introduction to Pauillac. Good fruit (cassis, black cherry), moderate structure with not much aging potential. Pleasant wine for the price.

Character of cru beaujolais at first, with fresh dark berries, but color a bit thicker and tannin a bit stronger than a cru beaujolais. In the glass for a while, the texture became bigger and heavier but still food friendly due to less oak. At Usd$70 wholesale price, it is extremely low value for money. mainly cater for ignorant China market. 87pt drink till 2013.

Mostly fruit, minimal oak, trivial aging. The wine is OK but not at all interesting. I actually have liked the bottles of Bordeaux Reserve Speciale better -- at least what I have had seems to have better balance.
