This Right Bank Bordeaux is bright Ruby red, from a blend of Merlot (80%), rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Fresh red fruit with cedar spice aromas. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with some cacao and licorice notes, adding oak and mineral tones. Fine tannins, medium finish, good balance with fruit, ending with smoky oak character, drink now on the younger side, no real benefit from long-term aging.

A nice lunch wine but unspectacular! Hard to give this wine its due after a tasting at Cheval Blanc!

Deep ruby to garnet in color. High alcohol. Dry. Notes of coco, tobacco, and dark fruits. Not very aromatic.

Slight sting on the nose. Mild acidity and limited complexity and flavor. A little hint of bitterness. Hints of berries and cherries. A decent mild wine.
