Excellent and mellow. French wine is not as big and bold like red wines in the US. This is a great example. Good cherry fruit and a mineral finish. Light and dry finish.

An elegant wine reminding us the with a pronounced old world funk on the nose that this is indeed a Bordeaux. Had a 2010 in Jan 2020 and decanted it for two hours. It still feels like a youth who believes they have reached maturity and are rating too go...but just needs a tiny bit more time. Nevertheless 2hours decanting did work wonders. Beautiful color with hints of mushrooms and forest floor and maybe cloves or nutmeg. Mellowed tannins on the backend with medium to low acidity.

Smooth fruit and dry. This bottle seemed more dry than others that I have had. A great bargain wine.

You cannot go too wrong with St. Emilion Region. If you like Cab Franc - this is really nice. A good bang for the buck!
