Great nose of plums, cherries and a bit of licorice and tar. It's less complex on the palate, but it is a surprising wine for the price. I've been looking for an everyday sort of Bordeaux Superieur and this is one of the better ones I've tasted recently. I won't buy it by the case, but I will keep a couple bottles around.

Still very young as the deep purple colour indicates, Sweet fruity nose of black fruits, tar. Fruity entry blackberrys, dark chocolate, acid and tannins come forward towards the finish, a luncheon wine. The following day the wine had fused together as a complete unit rather than individual elements, giving an idea of its future maturity, and that at present it is better to decant it for 4/5 hours. Never going to be a great wine but good for every day!!

Not much happening. A bit thin with acidity on the finish. Not bad but nothing special.

Fruity nose which thins on the palate to a surface flavor. Nice, tannic finish. Not much here.

Flat, not much fruit. I'm not convinced that age or decanting would have helped this wine much.
