Tight still. Nice nose. Better in another couple years.

Ain't no wow here. Pretty decent bouquet consisting of smoke and big fruit. This is fruit forward. Nothing but the darkest of fruits here. The raspberry based palate is nice and the oak builds character. Not bad, not great. You'll drink it one night and wake up not remembering her name.

Un bon petit Saint-Estèphe doux et rond en bouche à consommer sans modération avec de bons petits fromages.

Okay, good price, slightly disjointed, red and black fruits, a little pyrazine.

Heavy, dry. Plums at first, licorice at the end. Lots of tannins. Serve with something beefy. 1 hour+ in the decanter first.

Rich nose of dark fruits, stone, and baking spices. Little tart with some grippy tannins, and a hint of vanilla on the finish. Lovely this. Not OMG, but nice.
