Vintage 2011 / brown rim, cardinal red colour, very classic smell with vannila, stable, laurel, cassis, true to type #bordeaux Lovely taste (after a few hours in decanter) this wine rises above its modest AOC #blayecôtesdebordeaux tasted blind it can easily be mistaken for higher placed wines. Bravo! / paired with a steak and shitake

Nose of raspberry, oak, and some white pepper. Flavors of blackberry, raspberry, with peppery, spicy notes. Medium tannins are quite well integrated at this point. Red and black fruits, with a touch of tar and astringency on the medium finish. Fruit is quite surprising for a lesser chateau in a less than impressive vintage. Very nicely done
3/21/7/4/3 + 50 = 88 pts
