Quite a steal! This one flies under the radar with lots of bright fruit and a hint of green beans on the finish. Could age a few more years.

Good Bordeaux. Nothing crazy special but a good everyday wine.

Wine in a dumb period? Even after decanting for 35 minutes it never really opened.. Became a bit linear with not much nose. Somewhat thin on the palate. Maybe it needs a couple of years in the bottle..?

2010 drinks well now, but benefits from being opened and allowed to breathe for 30 minutes before drinking. Cab centric, but is light bordering on thin.

Smelled amazingly fruity and sweet, but tasted a deep, dark bordeaux.
