The wine doesn‘t have the best reviews here, but I found it quite good. It lay in the cellar for so many years. I think someone brought it to a party back then… Still quite balanced, tannins are there, dark fruit and some acidity. Tbh it lacks a long finish, great depth or complexity. But still a lovely surprise.

Concur with earlier review by sherwood *. This inexpensive Bordeaux, sitting in our cellar for a dozen years, was a pleasant surprise. Classic aged Bordeaux flavors in the glass, with bricking. Had with BBQ ribs and roast potatoes, and it didn't disappoint.

Purchased a case as soon as it was on the market; has been stored at 55º since then. Started drinking them in 2017. Ten bottles consumed; one was corked; the other nine were very good with the classic Bordeaux taste.

Held up just fine. In the cellar nearly a decade. Wish I had more.
