Good warm spice note to it. And palate is good structure and density, and long finish. Good now but I betcha it will go farther.

Good entry level BDX. Firm tannins, nice fruit expression. Would score higher if oak treatment wasn't so pronounced.

Decanted for 8 hours, this Medoc opened up nicely, yielding a smooth blend of tobacco, leather, and pencil shavings. In the glass, it poured delightfully, exhibiting a velvety ruby color. It was a perfect pairing with grilled lamb chops, and proved an excellent accompaniment to the cheese course at the end.

Appearance- Dark ruby, not transparent. Medium+ viscosity.
On the nose- Strong currant smell, cloves as well.
Palate- Currant and blackberry, perhaps some vanilla. Earthy like an Oregon Pinot Noir
Finish- Very smooth astringency. Silky texture. Flavor profile is long lasting and never develops a bitter aftertaste.
The flavors don't interest me as much, and I think I'm missing some subtle flavors, but this is a good wine.
