Naja. Geht so. Ausgeglichen aber relativ flach. Lohnt sich wohl nicht mehr zu lagern.

This wine shows typical Bordeaux flavors with Merlot in the lead.Smooth opening with berries and bitter chocolate and a finish that lingers. Medium body which invites the next sip. Nothing fancy but well made.

Drank 1/13/15. Good bordeaux for burgers or a casual experience.

Nose of plum and some underbrush. Relatively simple on the palate, with more red fruits, cherry, raspberry, some plum and a bit of spice. Light to medium body, with medium, well integrated tannins. A well constructed value Bordeaux.

3/21/7/4/3 + 50 = 88 pts.

Not a lot left on day 2. Probably not one to age.

My Pre New Years bottle. Light body, nose is fairly complex with a range of scents. Medium finish. Would love to enjoy with a steak. Thanks @Ken Z

Kind of tastes like a light Graves. Drinkable but with some of that mineral terroir.

Dry. Needs to breathe before drinking. More full bodied

2014v. Dark fruit (cherry and a little plum), a little cedar, and menthol on the nose. Dry fruit on the palette with a little graphite. High acidity with pretty soft tannins that coat and hang in the mouth, esp for a 65/35% merlot cab blend. On its own, it's a little blah but the fruit comes out more with food. I paired it with potroast. Maybe shell out a few bucks more to get something from Fronsac with a little more complexity. 13.5% ABV
