I am going to give this a higher score than my last tasting from over two years ago. A pleasant nose with dark fruit, blackberry, cassis, cherry, plum and smoke. The palate is balanced, the fruit a touch ripe and the tannins have softened. There is not all that much complexity, more of a crowd pleaser, yet very enjoyable with a long decant.

Still has a lot of bright red color. No brown. Initial nose of baking spices, licorice and dark berries. Tart berries on initial taste. After an hour I got some leather on the nose. The tannins came out. The wine has a dry mouth feel. The tannins sort of over powered the fruit for me. It's a nice wine. I think it could easily aged another 1-3 years.

Very solid 2nd label Bordeaux. Have tried several of these since 2019 and this was the last of 6. No hurry to open these even though I drank all of mine already. This is quite enjoyable now with hints of strawberry, blackberry, meat and mushroom notes. For the patient collector, another 5-7 years won't hurt ya!
