Always a right-bank favorite of mine.. first time trying the '12. A touch leaner than previous vintages, but same overripe, richly textured palate I love. Mocha, oak, and blackberry dominate the palate while it lives up to every other '12 bordeaux with seamless tannins that are as smooth as ever. A whif of smoke and charcoal linger in the background.. A great drink for the money.

Straight ahead Bordeaux - not complex but good sturdy aromas and flavors.

Better after breathing for a bit even after aerating. Great with Gorgonzola. Not a Tuesday evening relaxing wine as a bit heavy.
