Black currant, violets, chocolate, pipe tobacco and licorice. Sturdy but not heavy, and a pretty fine value.

Definitely a modern take on Bdx, with loads of sweet and ripe fruit flavors, rounded-off tannins and lowish acidi, creating a lush and ready-to-go version. Well made, yet boring.

Color of dark purple with nice legs. Nose of oak, vanilla, dark fruits, currant, blackberries, a bit minty, and tip strawberries. Taste follows the nose, with addition of savory tannins, sweet strawberries ice cream balanced by oak and rind, some more ripe grapes, and strength of alcohol. Aftertaste shows more oak and medium long. She is on her peak. She is not as heavy as conventional Bordeaux, but flavor-able and refreshing. Nice.
