Just what a "Medoc" should be. Not highly complex, or long in finish, just balanced, pretty, easy drinking juice. Nose a blend of blackberry, black currant, cigar, leather, a bit of oak residual. Palate well balanced, nice acid, good tannin, fruit remains quite intact. Well integrated, and for me, at or near peak.

Agree that this needs air to blossom. Tannic structure is still intact. Very nice, focused beam of cherry and cassis fruit, with oak that is unobtrusive and well integrated, and some enjoyable grace notes of eucalyptus and rosemary. Fine Medoc, if on a modest scale.

Pop and pour but I recommend a short decant since this really bloomed with a little air. Delicious saddle leather dominates the palate of this inexpensive Medoc. Tremendous value if you can find some now and showing beautifully for those who enjoy savory Bordeaux.

This has improved with age and whilst it is beyond its drinking window will not disappoint. Needs plenty of air but a decent Madoc.
