Almost jammy red berry nose with barnyard, some herbs and earth. Medium bodied and supple palate with oak under control. Good length. Pretty nice 2nd wine. @Château

Interesting label, not typical of French wines (lacking the official language about the appellation). Half-bottle cost $18. Worth it. I like this wine. I find it does have some complexity, though, granted, not too much. But it has both complexity and smoothness (or drinkability, as it were). The complexity probably comes from the blend. 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, and 2% Malbec. Second growth. I find it deserves a low-very-good (84.5).

I didn't like it as much this time. Still good, but past its prime. Mid-good (82.5).

Dry old world style lacking in complexity. OK for a weekday wine.
