Underestimated wine from an underestimated vintage. Performing well.

2002 shows it: People have been underrating this wine since the 1850s

Tasted November 2014.
Dark red color, light red onion skin halo.
Red fruits, cassis, leather, tobacco bouquet.
Progressive and pleasant attack, round tannins but short lasting. Short caudalies.
Deceptive Cantenac Brown (2002 was not a good vintage in France) most of all because of the price. Nonetheless an overall pleasant bottle.
