Fruit is black and fresh, layered with licorice, tobacco, and vanilla bean. Well integrated tannins and impressive flesh and drive. Well built.

Lots of tannin, acids early. Opened up after an hour and was more pleasant.

Not much on the nose. Some decent spicy dark fruit, prunes and black cherry with a touch of earth. The subtle fruit, however, is marred by a bitter, over-oaked finish that throws the whole taste off balance.

Nice Blend from Graves. 50% Merlot, 50% Cab. Enjoying this with the Walsh family.

I liked drinking it, at least till it stopped changing. Solid wine, a little more forward than I enjoy.

Great entry level Boudreaux.
Needs time to unwind but when it does, dark fruit, cocoa,leather, cedar and terroir are unleashed.

Thought it was a very nice Bordeaux wine after some breathing with food and good balance of tannin and fruit. Some notes of leather, and tart

Dark Ruby color. Full bodied with lots of dark bramble fruit, strong tannins and a medium long finish. Good value every day drinking Bordeaux.
