Not too bad considering 2012 was not a great vintage. Merlot is the star but her sisters fair a little underipe. Keep another 2 years.

Plum sauce, forest floor, green pepper and pencil lead. Medium bodied to full bodied, tannins especially firm and chewy. Check back in a few years but that won't dedicate the green notes in the wine. How anyone had a green wine in '10 in Bordeaux is hard to fathom. Sacrifice balance and a complete wine for the sake of elegance?

Excellent plum, graphite, licorice with restrained fruit and balanced acidity. An excellent everyday drinking Bordeaux from an unheralded vintage.

Nose: Red fruits, slight wood, nice ripeness. Mouth: cherries, red fruit, well balanced tannins and acidity, very drinkable. Not spectacular but good

Enjoyed over a girls weekend with Angela in Denver. Very smooth, fruity, and slightly earthy leather tannins. Great with cheese!

It was O.K... smoky aroma and high tannins. Needs a few more years and will probably be better.

Very Smooth and easy to drink but felt a bit light and unsophisticated for a blend

80% merlot,
10% Cabernet Sauvignon,
10% cab franc
