Not the moat concentrated style, but i imagime this shows more of a truly 'classic' claret style; elegant, clean, sapid, moreish. Supremely drinkable, for the shorter term.

Lived up to its 92 point rating by Decanter. Won gold medal at 2019 Concours des Grand Vins in France. Change up from our new world Napa wines. Enjoyable smooth red as we celebrated the holidays with family in the Sierras!

Cherry, green bell pepper, black pepper, and earth on the nose.
High toned and lean on the palate: sour red fruit, sour plum, spice, black tea. Really nice acidity and somewhat soft tannins with a touch of astringency.
Great little Bdx especially for the price. Would be outmatched with steak, but was perfect with roasted chicken thighs.

Fresh hay and cherry fruit on the nose. Lot of cherry, medium-light body. Nice finish but the steak is over powering this one.

Color of ruby mixed with burgundy, quite clear. Nose is nice, with sweet cherry, strawberry, almond, cured meat, tobacco, and a bit spice. Taste is wrapped at first. After stirring, flavors show up, with nice spice, black pepper, polished tannins, tobacco leaves, grassy, a bit zest, nice round acidity, fruits notes like juicy grapes are melted and mixed into subtle sweetness. At her peak with quality. Aftertaste is clean with lingering flavors. Enjoy her now.
