Elegant and already approachable with lovely black fruit (especially black cherry) and red fruit, a hint of mocha, mint and leather and just enough tannin to give it body and texture. Lovely with a long life ahead. 80% Merlot, 15% cab Franca, 5% cab Sauvignon.

Ooof…. This is absolutely remarkable and probably the best value I have ever tasted. Rich plums with a slight undeniable spice. Massive body for a Bordeaux and “legs for days”. Wow. Love it! Wine spies sold it for $29-38 depending on quantity and it was listed at $75. Definitely worth more. Wrong wine name. See pic for real winery. The app couldn’t find the correct chateau.

2005 vintage. A great vintage and a very good, small vineyard making great wines. This was a deep red to purple with fruit remaining up front followed by meat, pepper/spice and graphite. Classic, worthwhile and affirming as to the power of good Bordeaux.
