Rating boost for such a good value. Cigar box, oak, currant, coffee/chocolate. Body is a little light, fine easy tannin. Bright, but not noticeably acidic.

Well made, old school Medoc. Cool feeling nose. Like a bowl of cassis juice buried under a thin layer of dry leaves and twigs. Lean and crisp in the mouth. Very pure cassis/cherry fruit. Turns minerally in the finish. Very nice. Superb buy at $13.

This would be a great everyday wine. Pleasant, restrained, and easy to drink with or without food

Still tasted very young. But powerful undertones. Professional review suggested not to open prior to 2018 - feels about right.

Medium bodied wine, pleasant and easy. Perfect with lamb or maybe veal. Good fruity vibe and low in tanin. Nice.
