  Le nez est vraiment complexe avec des notes de cassis, bleuets, encre noire, réglisse, cacao, cèdre et cuir qui se succèdent au fil du temps. La bouche révèle que ce vin est trop jeune en ce moment, les tannins étant assez rugueux et asséchants. Le fruit, la matière et l'acidité se retrouvent dans un ensemble relativement disjoncté qui aura besoin de quelques années pour atteindre un équilibre. Cependant un léger creux en milieu de bouche me laisse croire qu'il ne sera pas un coureur de fond non plus.

  Rewe, 10 EUR.
  
  And it's quite typical of the better kind of 10 EUR-Supermarket-Bordeaux wines. Middle body, quite clean, quite good, some concentration, just a bit of ceder and marmelade, no excesses, quite satisfying albeit rather generic.
  Needed 1 hour to open up.
  
  So this is a fair deal, not more, not less.

  Good ruby color. Earthy nose of black fruit, creme de cassis, fig, tar, pastille, and cedar. Refreshing, roasted, black fruit palate, showing good length, balance, and sense of place. Great QPR.
