A simple take on bordeaux - hints of cigar tobacco leaves and leather lead to a hollow mid-palate of under ripe red fruit. Fresh, and easy to drink, but comes to a quick, abrupt finish.

Ruby body with slight violet rim. On the nose, there are notes of smoky cigar box, wet gravel, blackberry bramble, cassis, dried herbs, and a little bit of white pepper. On the palate, it has slightly grippy tannins, but is silky on the attack. Notes of cherries, raspberries, and cassis. Leather, graphite, and oak come in the mid palate. Decently long, and soft, rounded finish. Well-balanced structure. Not complex, but great value as a Cru Bourgeois.

Medium-bodied with a sleek tannin structure. Black currant, ripe red berries, licorice, leather, tobacco and pencil lead.

Soft and easy, but not without a little dexterity across the mid palate. Solid at $20. Nose is floral and expressive.
