Good wine, but not extraordinary. Lots of cedar, leather, tar notes. However, no real depth, not a lot of fruit present. Tannins are well integrated and rounded. I don't think it deserves anything better than an 85. I liked it, but for around $37 - $40 a bottle in my area, I have had better at $10 less price point.

Dark cherry, leather, anise, graphite. Went nicely with a char-grilled t-bone.

Des belle note de chocolat noire, encore de la matière à pleins, mais commence à atteindre son plateau.

Similar to heavy Merlot based St. Emilion, nice dry earthy finish.
Mid palate is a bit high in alcohol.

Nose with cherries, oak, tobacco. Full, slightly alcoholic taste; medium finish. Ready to drink. Good QPR at $25.
