Harsh, mouth drying tannins that made the wine seem unbalanced. This wine was a winner when I tasted last month in Bordeaux (how often does that happen!), but is less interesting now. The flavors were good, but overwhelmed by the tannic pushiness. This is probably a wine to drink young, while it is still more fruit forward.

Soft, round, cherry filled with a touch of oak, thyme and earth is ready to go. This is not going to improve, so if you have a bottle, drink up.

Vinos de Francia oeste (y otros franceses); 7/15/2016-8/16/2016 (Francia Oeste (Périgord, Bretaña, valle del Loira y zona de Burdeos)): Se le nota mucho la madera, en nariz y boca. Resalta la pimienta.
Bastante redondo, aunque quizá despunta ligeramente el ácido.
Muy potente, astringente, con retrogusto generoso y muy largo.
Nos resulta en general muy familiar, poco original para nosotros.
