Earthy and on the dry side. Fruit flavors of blackberry and mild raspberry are mellowed more than expected. Acidity is a bit elevated, but tannins are low. Finish holds some blackberry, plum and mellow oak throughout. Overall I expected more flavor out of the bottle, but the smooth Bordeaux texture is retained.

Intense blackberry nose followed by dark fruits and a somewhat tight tannic finish. Fill my glass again!

A really nice Bordeaux, dark berry, tobacco and pepper. Smooth from start to finish, a nice robust flavor and feel. Picked up for an awesome price 2 yrs ago...$6 on sale but doubt I'll find that again.

Earth, dirt, and a hint of smoke. A gem for the weekday at home.

dark berries, smoky, dry + soft finish with some nice gams.
Sade's 'a smooth operator' comes to mind...

Smoke, tobacco, and earthy for a typical Bordeaux. Pleasant spice. Pretty dry and limited fruit. As always enjoying with grandpa @James Murphy
