Medium ruby with garnet hue. On the nose black currant, leather and cedar provide the initial aromas followed by some earthy notes (mushroom/ forest floor) and anise. Medium- body, medium tannin and medium acid. Round (a little lean) on the palate with a pleasing finish dominated by wood and earth (subtle fruit). Solid Bordeaux.

WSET, Level 3 Advanced Certifcation Training; 3/11/2018-4/22/2018 (Texas Wine School at the Food & Wine Foundation of Texas, Austin, TX): Tasting sample. Displays a medium ruby color. Nose displays medium aromas of smokey dark cherry, plum, and a noticeable herbaceous undertone. Dry red wine, displaying medium red cherry and plum flavors with the previously noted herbaceousness in the mix. Medium tannins, and alcohol with medium plus acidity. Medium finish. Good balance, medium length, moderate intensity. Still mostly primary aromas and flavors. Drink now, probably won’t develop further. A good entry level Bordeaux.
