Solid Bordeaux for the money. A little ripe at first but it mostly settled down after about 30 minutes of air. Still seems quite young, stout.

Yes I know too early to drink but it's really well balanced, brimming with ripe berry and damson fruit. Well integrated oak... Delicious grand vin. Stock up. And no, not really drinking at church :)

This is better than most of the wines I’ve had. Heavy but very smooth

Very dark, and very leggy, this lovely Graves offers black currant, white pepper and a hint of fennel seed on the the nose. Black cherry, tobacco leaf, earth, oak and iron flavors marry harmoniously with extremely well-integrated tannins right up to the smooth finish.

Maybe not a classified growth, but a fully recommended example of ready to enjoy Bordeaux. Cedar and young fruit on the nose. Full rounded tannins.
