Needs room to breath. It's got a wonderful taste. Paired well with blue cheese and honeycomb dessert.

An acceptable bargain Bordeaux. Rustic and scrappy, with a sense of place, and admirable flesh. The wine definitely sheds much of its musk over night. I'm hoping for a large volume estate like this, that there might be lesser vintage variation so that I may enjoy these for the rest of the century after the 2009 and 2010s have sold out.

Not too dry, very drinkable, and just a touch of sweetness. Would pair very well with grilled beef or lamb. Dark red fruits come up first on the nose and linger after drinking as well.

Dec 6th, 2015Bought for 9 euros in corner wine store in 12th. Made mistake of drinking a few glasses before letting it open up. Someone else called it musky. I'd agree. But once it sheds musk, after a couple of hours, it shows off its restrained fruit. Could age for a bit.

Very nice but I think a little pricey for the effort, especially after drinking some really phenomenal North Fork wines recently!
