Bright tart red fruits dominates the nose with some earthy and herbal notes on the back. Bright palate as well but offers more complexity. Tannins are nicely rounded by gripping.

These notes are pop and pour, written with a cold coming on, so maybe misleading. Blackberries and plums, with a little tobacco. Acidity is medium, tannins strong-ish. With alcoholic heat, it seems a little rough. Overall it seems like a good value Bordeaux, probably will be better with some air or time.

Excellent Bordeaux blend! The nose reminds me of a spicy cab franc but the taste is very earthy!
