Garnet, Medium weight with straightforward black cherry, leather, cigar box, cassis and stone. Well aged. 65% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc. It lacks depth but has some charm. It's from a great vintage but Drink now - it won't get better with more age.

This is a pleasant Bordeaux from the disappointing 2013 vintage , the wine is medium bodied with pleasant acidity and classic aromas of : oak blackberry ,earthy notes, dark fruit, blackcurrant, red fruit, cedar smoke, and a mild finish. My score 86, drink to 2021

2016 vintage. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Cassis and fresh herbs. Medium-bodied, balanced with some complexity and a fresh feel. Nice value at 13,90 euro.

Deep red color. Robust red berry aromas. Full. This #wine has some damp soil. Volume on the palate of red fruit, with some mild tannin and acid.

Bright and tasty, but not a ton of depth. The smell reminded me of soap, which was off-putting

Really enjoyed this Bordeaux. Good structure on the pallet with a neat finish plus some nice age on it.

Maravilhoso Bordeaux Medoc. Macio com traços de blackcurrent e harmoniza bem com um bife Ancho. 13%.
