A very good Bordeaux, excellent first feel in the mouth, very balanced. The aftertaste is a bit shorter than to be called great, does not vibrate your gums. However a presentable Bordeaux!

This wine needs more time in the cellar, but it still shows nicely and represents the Right Bank really well! The tannic structure front and center in this wine, and its earthy quality is apparent on the nose.

Opened on 1/20/2014, it is opened at the right time. Deep red color, little or no sediment. A bit spicy on the pallet. But 1/2 hr later. It became very smooth with fruit flavor with a pencil shaving aroma. It was a very enjoyable wine but is very short on the tongue.
