Blueberry, black berry, touch of oak,cedar
Dry, mid+ acidity, mid tannin well grained
Too early to drink, but I felt even so acidity stands out

Smells fine. Tastes sharp, like someone squeezed a lemon into it. Prefer softer, more concentrated fruit, bigger body. This is distinctive in bad ways.

Very smooth 2015 Bordeaux. Underrated for sure and very reasonably priced. Raspberry in a bottle. Light notes of cedar. Would buy again for a casual wine session.

3.5. Lovely, earthy Bordeaux, very smooth with fine balance of fruits and minerals. On sale for $23.74, regularly $29.99.

Very smooth, pleasant earthy tones. Not too sweet, which I prefer. Hints of chocolate.

Way too young but will be solid in 5 years.
