Drank 10\3\19. Nice with baked ziti.

Bright cherry, and just a hint of earth and sweet spice on the nose. Flavors of juicy, red cherry and a touch of earth. Medium tannins and finish. Overall a much stronger effort than the '14. Won't blow you away, but a nice everyday drinker.

Drank 10/9/19

Classic right bank nose opens with plums, earth, some cassis, and just a hint of cedar. Velvety black fruit leather, and a touch of green from the cab franc, with medium, well integrated tannins lend support to the medium+ body. A well made wine from a good producer, in an average vintage.
