After reading the comments I wasn't expecting much...WRONG. This Bordeaux is drinking superbly right now (thank you W.E. 300 bottle Wine-Cellar). Drank with garlic and olive oil rubbed crostini with fresh fresh mozzarella and prosciutto with a side of castelvetrano olives. On the nose, dark chocolate, vanilla, with blackberry and blueberry, aromas. The wine is still fresh and fruit forward, smooth with grippy tannins and a smooth velvety finish. This wine has at least a couple more years of drinkability left (no idea really, but it still so good right now!)

this bottle seemed past its peak. still drinkable, though. smooth, tame, not much depth. just "ok" and slightly better with food. not rating this bottle. seems to be past "drink up" and into the "cook with it" phase.

A very good value Bordeaux that is showing well now. Mature red fruits, a touch of spice intermingled with earthy & herbal notes, and even potpourri. I also pick up a hint of brick dust. Well integrated now, with a good mouthfeel and decent finish.

Peut-être dans son meilleur moment, il a gagné en complexité et ses tanins sont plus ronds.

Still on the road to peak. Very nice wine at the $20 price point.
