Classic rustic Bordeaux. Pretty good fruit with a lot of tannin.

Deep ruby. On the nose, the wine has medium intensity, with aromas of black berry, red currant, earthy, leather, cedar, dried herb, dried cherry. Developing.
The wine is dry, medium acid, medium tannin, high alcohol, medium bodied. The palate has medium intensity with flavours of dried cherry dried herb and redcurrant. Finish is medium.
The wine is good. Balanced. Intensity is not there. Felt hollow. Fair amount of complexity and length. Drink now, not much further aging potential.

Nice Bordeaux. A bit on the dry side with muted fruit. Medium weight. Hard to note any particular fruity flavors since they are too far in the background.

Not bad but not much else
Recognisable as Bordeaux but not much else stands out
