Drank 5/10/20

Lighter nose of blackberry, raspberry, earth, and a hint of barnyard. Tannins are dry, but well integrated with blackberry, and a bit of leather and red fruit on the palate. Lacking concentration, but an excellent example of a well aged Bordeaux from a lesser chateau in its prime drinking window. Dry finish. Enjoyed this quite a bit, even though it is not a sensational wine.

2/21/8/4/3 +50 = 88 pts.

Bottle of red in France. Red fruit, cherries, decent table wine.
