  Very tasty mature left bank Bordeaux that’s beautiful on the nose and pleasant on the palate with decent amount of fruit. We really enjoyed it

  Colour was ruby with a garnet rim, a bit watery with pronounced legs.
  The nose was medium a reveals a split personality between its cabernet sauvignon (and franc?) with cedar, cassis, herbal, blackberry (from the franc?), bay leaf, iodine and red currant. Whereas the merlot is providing plum and instant coffee. It is balanced but not perfectly integrated.
  The mouth has flavours of black plum, chocolate, cassis, black skin grape, pips and a sour note. Possibly some blood orange.
  Ripe cab franc and less ripe merlot?
  Med+ tannin, Med bodied, high acidity, med+ finish

  A half bottle just bought from The Wine Society. I was a bit worried for this after reading other reviews from 6+ years ago but am enjoying a perfectly pleasant example of a mature Cru Bourgeois. Lots of plum and a finish that lingers.
