  Nice, easy drinking Bordeaux. Somewhat cherry forward. Not too dense or heavy.

  On the nose, definitely starting to pick up that 'aged' smell. Some balsamic notes with herbs and red fruit. On the palate, good acidity and tannins are integrating nicely. Medium body. Eucalyptus, herbs, and cherry. Comes across a little bit hot giving that cherry cough syrup effect but it's not that bad. Good depth of fruit and this wine could probably go for another few years. At this price point this wine is a winner and is really great with food. Glad I have more.

  Powerful and complex nose of petrol, tar, and pine leading to cassis, ripe dark fruit, and spice; less body than one would wish for, but still deep, rich, and rewarding, with bold but unobtrusive oaky tannins; perhaps could have used another few years in the cellar, but solid overall and outstanding value for such a serious, sophisticated wine.

  Oak! Oak!!! Run for the hills!
  
  A discordant oak-bomb. Even on day 2, the oak and mocha were overpowering. I don't think this has the bones to last long enough for the oak to resolve and for any semblance of balance and harmony to occur.
